even so, lower pressures makes your tires run cooler. So in damp conditions you have no desire to decrease tire temps so I would run higher pressures to get as much heat in the tire as possible.
Ok i'm not sure, and at this point i've had too much beer to actually decode my reference document( 1 beer, it's kind of a tough read :lol: ) so i'll just post it up here for you guys to figure out.

i re-read it and i think i am actually wrong though in this case.

wow i just checked the weather report again and the days preceding the event are only 30% chance of showers and 0% chance of rain on Sunday the 30th with sunny skies and high of 73 degrees. guess some of you participating in the practice might encounter some rain but sundays competition should be dry.

Looking forward to a little rain, I know that not what you all want to hear. But it'll give Ozzie (17 yr) a good chance to see how the car handles on a slick payment under throttle in a controlled environment. We'll be looking for instructors to help tune Ozzie experience. All help will be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't put much stock in any weather forecast more than 24 hours out.

very true. it did go from 60% chance to 0% chance, but i'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. i absolutely hate rain. thought i escaped it forever when i moved to SoCal from Florida :mrgreen:
