Get some. I just finished driving the Tire Rack Wet Skid Pad shootout. Tire Rack put the sprinklers on their skid pad, which is bascally a 300-foot radius circle. Driving the skid pad is not difficult, but there's pressure to do well at such a seemingly simple event. Think of it as having to kick 20-yard field goals over and over.
We were the 34th car to run, and I nabbed 6th place overall, and 1st in class. The skip pad is a test of how many G's the car can pull. We pulled an unofficial average of 0.889 G's. Not too shabby in the wet. I do like to think that they're some driver's skill involved...if the results hold, then it's skill :) The JRZ suspension did it's thing and kept the car planted.
With 200 plus miles to drive to Road America, we packed up our stuff and hit the road. I'm writing from the car right now, while the rest of the field runs, so we don't if our scores will hold up.
Next up is James at Road America. AAOOOOWWW!!! One Lap baby!

Nice meeting you guys today. I am looking for some good things from the 1 Series. The car looks great and the skid pad was a good start.
See you back in South Bend next Saturday. Hopefully with a class win.
