hahah...blah blah blah...

ok,

reasons for rain:

1 - save tires
2 - learn more technique at lower speeds with less traction to fight
3 - never done it before on a track
4 - no sunburn, overheating, windburn, etc associated ailments of hot weather
5 - save tires AGAIN
6 - allows for cars with less horsepower / skill to link turns, drifts will just carry further
7 - car control is stressed MUCH more with less traction, it will be a good learning experience for many

reasons against rain:

1 - drastically increased risk of going off track if not overly cautious of speed
2 - mud, mud, and more mud on a track like Buttonwillow, people WILL get stuck
3 - if you lose control recovery will be almost non existant (there will be NO drifting on certain turns ---> SUPRA)
4 - being wet alllll day just SUCKS
5 - being cold allll day just SUCKS
6 - more mud
7 - doing ANY sort of maintenence on your car in the rain just SUCKS

so those are just a few of my personal reasons for and against the rain on a track day...

some will say the PROS outweigh the CONS and some will say the opposite..

either way i'll have fun..so i'm game for whatever..
