Push Harder - Drive as close to the limit of your tires as possible.
Suck Less - Drive something resembling a proper racing line.

Anyone going to be at Brooksville tomorrow AM that wouldn't mind a co-driver? I just found out this morning that my shop may not have my car ready in time. Just putting feelers out incase that does happen. Appreciate it!

It's looking damp for tomorrow. Weather.com currently says "scattered T-storms" and 40% rain coverage all damned day. But, at least it won't be hot!

Paul,
Just show up. Someone will take pity on you. Or you can help some lesser talented person. (There must be ONE?)

I don't get up that early or I'd help you out. But you all ready knew that.

Yep, autocross is an almost all-weather sport. About the only thing we'll cancel an event for is an eminent hurricane. If there is lightning or torrential rain, we'll stop and wait it out. Otherwise... we're runnin' in the rain!
