Today was a test and tune. It rained off and on all afternoon. I never had a dry track but trundled along for 7 or 8 runs slipping around a bit and spinning off one place wherever there was a substantial pool after the finish line.

It was largely enjoyable.

I have not run yet this year at my favorite place...south bend. Tomorrow is supposed to rain a lot there. I am planning to stay home tomorrow.

There were two cars worth mentioning:
1. A ninety something non descript sedan with an outrageous turbo on it sticking out of the hood about a foot with a 5 or 6" diameter intake. The guy was sorting the engine apparently as he had a problem making any complete runs.

2, An Audi sedan with a four element or so front wing 7' wide, standing off the hood and bumper at least a foot and a 8 or 9 element veritcal wing. This wing looked like it would not fit into a normal garage. This guy had it well sorted and just ran lap after lap. It was a factory v8 car with twin turbos, I imagine hopped up. People do some wild and crazy things to cars.!

These high horsepower cars with turbos spit and pop and bang as they race around the course. Very entertaining!
