<VV> Early beats Late

Thanks for the report Warren.
How about sending some of that rain to my part of West Virginia? We have had no significant rain for weeks. I washed my truck over a month ago and it still looks clean!

> Michael and I went to Grissom Air Force Base today (Saturday) for testing; his new 12/1, 3100 engine and my new 8/1 ,3100 turbo engine.
> 30% chance of scattered showers. It rained nearly all day except for a brief time during lunch when I was lured into changing back to slicks; of course, as soon as I was done it really poured.
>    I ran some old rain tires in the morning mild rain and was second fastest overall in the Thomas/Roe car.four wheel drive was fastest.
> The Gibsons were there to watch and ride in the rain with us.
>    Michael was on 12" wide slicks, so really had no chance at all. I did offer him my rains though.
>     In the afternoon session, there were puddles so huge that we were totally blinded by splash three times on the course. We both made 1 run and quit.
>    Same forecast for tomorrow, so we dummies are going back, hoping for a fair match up and to try to learn something from our testing..
>    I will be at Grissom for the National tour next weekend with the SCCA legal 2700 Stinger; after all, wet concrete should be the same as cold , sandy, slick asphalt at the Nationals.
