AutoX went WET this weekend

hey guys, this weekend was tones of fun, but SOOOO WET, it started out kinda misty and the runway was very wet but it was duable, we could still run and get decent times, in the afternoon on the other hand my group had a very dry runway so I got excellent times, but for the second group it just started thundering and raining extremely heavy, and for some reason I was surprised everybody still ran, so it took another 30 minutes for everyone to finish, I was writing down times and they told me to stop after the rain has started, but I feel bad for the workers, they were all soaked.

the most surprising thing was a porsche w/ slick tires and those tires stuck to the ground unbelievabely, you would expect slick tires to feel like you're on ice, but they stuck very well
