As it turns out, things can get a little overwhelming when standing water appears and you’ve only driven a particular car at 3 entirely dry events previously. I think my brain just decided to peace out near the end after having to fight through so many instances of near-terminal hydroplaning. On the plus side, my husband appears to have graduated from “ohshitohshitohshit” to maniacal laughter when he rides along with me. That, and my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of the day before the water started to really accumulate was good enough for a DS class win and top 25% overall PAX finish in spite of half the other drivers staying entirely or mostly dry for over half their runs.

Thanks! Truth be told, I was actually hoping for some rain so I didn’t have to potentially learn that on top of going in blind to a new venue for the SCCA Solo N ationals coming up here in two weeks . It was a mess, but it was at least a fun and educational mess.
