Default Rain or Shine at the track...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/119234/pboc_moroso_dec.15-16_2007_dl_-_8_187.jpg"></center><p>Had a great track day yesterday. I am a novice, and this car really can correct my rookie mistakes before i know i even made one.

We had rain during the first session, but that was of no bother to me.

Got to hang with Chip Herr, he was at the event. Unfortunately the organizers wouldn't let him take my car out.

A couple more photos in my pic poster...

Why wouldn't they let him drive your car?

Why do you have the windows open while it's pouring with rain ?

You have to run windows down on the track.

Default I think it's because you are wearing a helmet...

and you have a pretty good chance of breaking the window with your melon just bouncing around a little. Lexan's OK, its shatter proof.

Default It's for safety reasons and no the rain does not come into the car when running at high speeds...

At least in my car. I was very surprised by this. Audi did a good job of preventing it.
