Default Great learning experience

We got soaked!!!! Great fun and learned a lot. It's not often you get to go all-out in a car with no top in heavy rain, with windshield wipers that don't really work all that well (I could hardly see the cones), with tires not designed for rain. We couldn't even look at the gas peddle to hard.

For the record, I took out a lot more than two cones, especially on the last run - when I wanted to see what I could get away with. We never really got to drive in dry pavement, just patches of dry - but that alone caused us to drop over 5 seconds. I'll have to do that again - but I think power steering would be helpful on autocross. It was a good time.
