Wow, now THAT was fun! Great post Stude!
That you-can't-see-out camera shot from the car using RainX, I'll bet for sure the driver could see just fine. That camera set back inside the car is all about backlighting and contrast, cameras just don't like being there.
And I'll bet they would usually pound the heck out of the the gators (rumble strips) on that track in the dry. You better not even look at them too close in the wet, the paint on them will sling you from here to yonder, day over, slick as snot when wet. Shoot, even the stripes on the track will toss you with a lot of side force in the rain.
Huge fun right there, that was great to watch.Charter member of the Turd NuggetsComment

Me too, but why can't all of their races be that much fun to watch here stateside? Heck that was a BLAST to watch! Let's say every NASCAR track event will will go off ONLY if it rains. The grandstand fans will stay home, but the TV ratings will soar. The TV money pays their bills anyhow, with the grandstands physically shrinking. There's the solution to their dilemma, ONLY run in the rain. And let's find out which ones of the annointed glory kids can actually drive in it.Originally posted by oletrux4evr View Post

I never really followed NASCAR. I think one of the reasons was that being a sports car guy back then racing, even autocrosses, were done rain or shine. I have never understood why not racing just because it rains.Comment

I couldn't possibly agree any more with that. That video right there, not only is it a road course that's camera-coverage-friendly for the whole lap, but it's raining. Why in the WORLD do they not do that all the time, rain or shine? I'll still go back to the race fans in the stands, when it starts raining on a race track they will leave. Football fans don't leave. They camp out in the rain and still want to see the game if it's a good one.Originally posted by JRoberts View PostCharter member of the Turd NuggetsComment

Peewee has a point.
A Green Bay Packers game at home would not be the same without a foot of snow coming down and freezing temps.
However, drag racing in the rain doesn't seem like a good idea at all.Last edited by studemax; June 12, 2017, 04:57 PM.Act your age, not your shoe size. - PrinceComment

Agreed Stude, but the other (excluding NASCAR) have a fix........rain tires! A little less speed, but more racing.Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'
