Nice smooth job of driving in the rain.

Throttle control is the key.

Wow, I had forgotten how flat Kansas is. If there is a tornado coming you can see it two days out :D

36.2XX on the left and 36.9XX on the right, still very wet this morning but we chose to switch to V710's (ran on Kumho SPT street tires on Fri), paid off with a drop in times as it started to dry out. Still, ended up 4th and Morgan Trotter (CSCC) in 5th. Not bad, and I think I ended up 3rd overall in the class year-end points. Super Challenge qualifier was less than 0.2XX, so a LOT of people did not make it in that "should have". Hollis wins the whole thing, we take it out on him in a deluge of champaign. I still may have ended up 3rd or 4th in the overall Super Challenge standings, but did not make it during the Finale :(
