Could anyone imagine doing a track day in this weather?
I just don't want to imagine the cleanup afterwards

I drove really slowly on my new foursome of Continental DW...
Felt OK (?), but my tires slipped from a [slow] first gear start from a red light. Not sure--is that normal with RWD in the rain?

Im wondering how bad the conditions are up on 35 & 9 in this kind of weather. 35 gets really foggy...
Casey, can you chime in? I usually get off at 5 or 6pm & was thinking of doing it in the rain.

Driving in the rain is fine, it's a good way to test your skills as far as knowing how the car behaves. Bald rear tires in the S, in the rain, on mountain roads with lots of debris is like driving on ice. Sure you still can go "within your limits" at a pace that is probably quicker than the average commuter.
Sometimes you gotta go what you gotta do. Would I take extra recreational drives in the rain/wet as opposed to necessary commutes. The answer is yes. But I'm a little wacky...
