Ughhh....first chance at a track day and wouldn't you know it. I started off with dry streets and 45* weather. Got about a mile down the road and the sky opened up. A fairly heavy down pour starts and the track is an hour drive. Look at the radar and we (and the track area) are in a large rain area with another band of showers showing behind it. Waited 45 min or so and it never let up and only got colder (42*). So, even though the track stayed open and would drive in the rain, being a first time track experience we decided to not drive in the rain and to pull the plug. Of course it's now 4 hours latter and rain is gone. It's cloudy but the streets are almost dry. Second guessing myself of not just going anyway.

Next track day is 2 months away. I was with a friend who is running a C5 Z06 and another one of his friends with a convertible C5. They don't think much of a Camaro. It's all about the vettes. I was hoping to show them my fading license plate and turn them into believers.

It's funny though...I pulled up this thread and we watched the videos for a little while trying to wait out the rain. Only to drool and think of what it could've been. Hopefully in May the weather will be much better and I can finally make this happen.
