damn dude i am sorry to here and see this. the salt is what is going to cause you big problems depending how bad it got on the wiring. damn man i hope it all is ok.

As far as I could tell it didn't get any of that. It was put down the night prior so most had already been sloshed away. I just noticed it on the car once it had dried. All the plugs were facing down and for the most part covered. Like I said, I wasn't in it very long and cleaned what little mess it made out once we got to where we were going.

Hope not either, Everything was looking good until we were headed out. Just very poor timing, weather report showed 20% which it pretty much always does lol.

Thanks, we'll cross that bridge when we get there I suppose. Still a very long way off from having it back and ready to race.

It's supposed to be completely covered if sitting outside.

I contacted them and was assured it wasnt out in anything uncovered. I haven't been there since feb 15 so I can only go on what I'm told. I've seen the hoop plates and have heard the main hoop is done. It sounds like the other project is also coming along and I'll share more if it works out.
