rain or shine? dAMN......u see the forecast yet?

Rainy autocrosses are more fun than dry ones. Slippy pavement = better learning experience. Rain removes horsepower from the equation and promotes smooth driving.

Sunday: A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 8am. Cloudy, with a high near 82. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

We'd stop during the thunderstorms of course.

Depends upon what they are & how much tread is left. My half-used fulltread Toyo RA1's are awesome in the rain.
