Nice pics. I've done Laguna Seca in the rain with my Evo and Infineon in the rain (but in my ole e36 m3.) It'd be fun to try THill in the rain, as its my second favorite track behind Infineon.

Did you guys run the bypass? Coming out of that would be freaky in the rain.

Yes we ran the bypass.. i think there would be 100% more spin outs and tows if we didn't run the bypass. I love Infineon too.. i want to go back now really badly.

This was my first time in the rain.. its scary fun. I did slide off the track my first lap. I learned after that.... LOL

I'm not even stressing.. most of the guys won't track their VOLKS. I can see why some inexperience eyes can think they are rotas. LOL! I actually use them for their purpose.

How did the suspension feel with the minor adjustments we made Quang? Bet those tires blew in the rain. Glad to see the car made it out alive bro.
