Topic: To hell with rain tires, bring your mudders to Sears Pointless!
Just coming off a wet race weekend at Infineon. There was just a little rain on Saturday morning, but wet spots (yeah, go ahead, make your jokes) on the track stuck around all the way through Sunday afternoon. Besides the several totalled and rolled cars in the esses (before the motorcycle chute - so a part of the track we'll be running) there were several cars that got stuck in the mud outside T4. Now, T4 is a downhill braking zone into a falling-away downhill 90 degree right hander with what is essentially a mud bog on the outside, so it's easy to go wide on the exit. The saftey crew had a REALLY hard time getting cars out of there - they even called in a 4 wheel drive dually F350 super duty that almost got stuck pulling out a Honda that made it especially far into the soup.
Sooooo, the worst penalty this weekend might not be dealt out by the judges - it may be being left for dead in the swamp outside T4. I'm guessing we get a big collection of cars there through out the day Saturday, then their teams can go try to rescue them at the end of the day.
Don't say you haven't been warned!
