| Blah... Last weekend had a few "firsts" for me.
First time driving on a track in the rain. There was a lot more grip than I was expecting, and it wouldn't have been that bad except that the rain was coupled with cold and wind, which made being outside all day a little miserable.
It was also the first time I didn't meet my goals while out on a track or autocross. I couldn't beat my best time at the track from last year. It did dry out for Sunday, so I cannot blame that. I was hoping the new wheels and tires would make me a little faster, but it didn't happen. My previous best was a 1:02.9 and yesterday the best I got was a 1:03.0 Not a huge difference, but I really wanted to be faster.
While the track did dry out, the grass stayed wet, so I was pretty nervous about dropping a wheel in the grass. Last year, I'd drop a wheel on the grass every once in a while. At least I have two more trips out to that track (SLMP - Saint Lawrence Motorsports Park) this summer to do better. |
