Default rain sucks donkey butt!!

It poured all day Saturday so I couldn't go the 2.5 hr each way trip to Slowhawks for a street tune-up
It's pissing again already with rain showing all friggin day - no dyno drive


I gotta go to LVD with several changes and no adjusted tune

It sucks. This was supposed to be opening wknd. for my CMDR club at NED. 2 days of racing washed out. I wanted to find out how my car reacts to some small changes, also. Oh well, just pray for nice weather for the LVD track rental next friday.... WJ

If I knew it was gonna stay as sunny long as it did - I'd have left early to go.
Last trip home it rained so hard and took so much longer I swore I wouldn't do that again!
In nice weather the long drive is relaxing and fun - in the rain it freaking sucks! And risky with the car.
I'll just pray for LVD as WJ said and try to get tuned there
