Rain, rain, go away. (Videos Inside)

Tri-State Sports Car Council started there 2012 season with splash. There was torrential downpour causing the event to be cut short. The day started with some lovely weather, which was nice for people like me who were in the 1st/3rd run group as we actually got some dry runs in. It didn't start raining till my 3rd run, and I was about 9th car from last in the group of ~40+. Turns out, they didn't actually get my 3rd run in, so I could have gotten a re-run, but the conditions after the rain were terrible. On top of the standing water, the surface is relatively new, and very slick. So after Heat 1 we sat in the rain for over an hour. It was kind of funny having 5 people piled into my Subaru during the break. After the weather passed, Heat 2 was under way, and everyone was sliding all over the place; it was actually kind of comical. The track dried more and more with every run and by the end of Heat 2 the track was relatively drive, but it was already a little after 3pm, so the powers that be decided to call it. All in all, 1/2 day of AX is better than no AX.

Out with the old; in with the new.

Got my car back yesterday afternoon from the folks at P&L. As you may know, I initially went in to get my tie rods replaced and I decided that since I was in there I might as well have them do a little more wrenching. New front sway bar, end links, steering rack bushings, tie rods, and of course camber bolts.
