And it was AWESOME! It reminded me of rally crossing my car! It was very fun and exciting. It rained in the 2nd heat today. Unfortunately the feature was rained out. I was gaining on the leaders on the first lap and unfortunately Scott Goolik spun in front of me between the hairpin and the left hander onto the bridge. I took evasive action and went off to avoid contact and had to get out of the kart to push it back on to the track. I ended up finishing 4th :frown:. The real cool part was getting to drive in the rain. :clap::clap:

I think my kart might be too tight because everyone else was sliding all over but my kart seemed to stick pretty well. Maybe I can go even looser on the setup. The rear bumper didn't seem to have a significant effect on the handling so far.
