Yeah stayed dry here today too, guess the car will get me to class next week.
Not bad, only my second opti in 6 or 7 years, and this one wasn't completely shot anyway I took off.(Randomly would start to break up, no set time for it to start going nuts, just be driving fine then WHAM! Missing like crazy, even after a coil/ICM swap with a good one I had laying around.)
I enjoy going to the track, but with it being two hours ONE way, I'm going to make sure its bone dry from now on, went out to OSW about 9 months ago only for it to rain on and off throughout the night, what a tease. Make a pass then sit around for an hour and a half! Everything is two hours, Gainesville, OSW, Bradenton. The Hernando airport doesn't seem very busy, they should use a runway on Friday nights for some flashlight drags or something. No timing equipment, just run the person next to you.

Well atleast you're not up North. Track is closed for 4 months+, and Car Stuff hard to find, so now your stuck only doing the "Horizontal Mambo" with your "other Best Girl" (not a bad thing at all).
Then the track finally opens to temps in the 30's or 40's.
It may touch 50* if you are extremely lucky that day in March at some point, but usually around 2-4pm.
But now you can't hook the tire's 80% of the time, with the track surface temps being cold.
Even on the street, the tires are almost rock hard in most cases, and it's hard to hook a decent running car even from a slow roll. (tho, real races are from a dig).
Now who want's to talk about the SNOW.
The SHOVELING of it.
The CLEARING of the Driveway, or DIGGING out and CLEARING off of the ICE and SNOW on your DD or Hot Rod....
Now try to drive in it, in BLUSTERY, WINTERY weather with any kind of High HP.....lol
Let's not forget the Freezing Rain, Sub 30,20,and 10* temps, and anticipating the first out of the ordinary 60-70 degree day in February or March, but only on a weekday when most folks have to work, or are in School..
Not so, so bad down here in FLA when I think on it a bit, especially after growling at the rainy day that kept me from taking one of my toy's for a Cruise, to a Cruise Night, or to the Track.
Hey did I mention about FREEZING Cold Days on end, and the SNOW?
JMO...
