Hey all, I've done a little searching but just want to confirm. It sounds like autocross will run rain or shine, as long as weather isn't "too" bad. Tomorrow they're calling for storms on and off for most of the day, would we still run and just stop if it's lightening out?

Thanks, looking forward to meeting everyone!

Autocross will run rain or shine. We stop for ice/snow accumulation and lightning.

Driving in the rain is fun and is a good way to learn car control; working the course in the rain is less fun!

I plan to run the Camaro on street tires, unless Saturday is dry. I'm too lazy, and old to change tires to run in the rain! STD, here I come!!

I love driving in the rain.  I even did it at VIR once. 
Only thing I don't like is having to drive with the car windows open.  Tongue
