Forecast is for heavy rain all day Saturday. So much for the Chicago Audi Quattro Challenge. : (

I'll still be going out there on Saturday no matter what the weather is like.
Since the event is geared towards quattro, some of the things they'll have you do will be in standing water...So I don't expect rain to be any problem. At the most, I guess they would want to keep the speed down on the speed laps, but it's an oval...How exciting were you expecting it to be?

The two best driver training events I have attended were in the driving (pun intended) rain
at Seattle Raceway, and in the snow/ice at our winter driver training at Stevens Pass ski area. Why? Because of the slick conditions! Welcome the rain...you will learn more than you will believe! Then go to a track event in the dry and you will really appreciate your "wet" experience.

If there was a CART race scheduled for Saturday do you think they would still run?
Not with the storms they are predicting for Saturday. So why would it be expected that they would still let us take laps, quattro or not? (plus I have a fwd.) : )

I too have a fwd and we took laps in between the storms while the track was still wet.
Just sharing my experience.
Perhaps (not sarcastic here) our storms are different. They tend to be severe and short lived.
