Still a place for Toyo RA-1 Proxes in the rain?

Chris, did that "one time" happen in Memphis in the March race about 2-3-4 years ago?

I am so glad that you are up and around now.

No, but that was the inspiration for their purchase the next month. I was running some other street tires (name withheld) that should've been excellent in the rain. When I came putting around the coffin turn and hit the concrete and slid, helplessly towards the wall at about 10 mph, I decided that their needed to be a change. The body work and the cleaning bill were really scary. I was impressed with the corner worker...he never moved as I came directly for him. I suppose he figured, as slow as I was going, he could stick out his foot and stop me.

I was at the Labor Day MARRS at Summit Point. Saturday morning qualifying was steady rain from the hurricane that made it's way north that week. I paid particular attention to the ITB guys and the Hoosier wet runners were at the front of the grid. In fact, some guys who had no business anywhere near the front were there due to the Hoosiers. The landscape changed a bit Sunday in dry race conditions.

Our driver's school at Roebling back in '04 was almost totally rain. Out of about 16 track sessions, I think we had two or three that were completely dry, another three or four that were partly dry, and three or four that were ungodly downpours. The Dirt Stockers were amazing. I only lost like ten or fifteen seconds a lap, IIRC, and I was greener than grass at the time. I did have to "hunt puddles" in a couple of sessions, though. Ours are about dry rotted, so I'm ordering a new set this month. I guess I need to figure out whether to get the Dirt Stockers or the new Hoosier.
