Track crew: Road Atlanta Rain pics
Finally got my pics from Henry back... and bloody hell, took a lot longer than the normal 2-3 weeks. 
This was a Chin event end of November and you can tell from the pics that the conditions were terrible. :noes:
Lots of wrecks throughout the weekend with Porsches/BMW/Vettes.
Summary for me => AWD + PSM + Street tires Kicked *** all weekend
Yes... it felt like cheating a bit.
My GT3 6 Piston front brake upgrade was worth it! But still managed to heat crack brand new rotors (cross drilled FTMFL)
Koni Challenge car behind me w/ Hoosier rain slicks.
My Z06 track ho buddy admitted he puckered up a bit the first few laps (awd is awesome in the Rain)

continued....
Fighting for front end grip @ turn 5. MAD Understeer!
Inside pass @ 10a braking zone
My buddy was enjoying the ride~
Nice R8's. One guy flew in from Cali to drive
This monster MTI car got got wrecked Saturday. It looked like a total loss.
BMW E36 M3 wreck. I think the guy mis-shifted and locked up the rear coming down 10a. (looked like 200ft of debris.. OUCH)

the weather has been looking like that for the past 3 or 4 weeks.
glad to see you had a fun time in the rain. i did a 3 day panoz racing school a few years back and a full day full of rain. that was the most fun i had on the track

good shots, looks like fun. Noticed the vette that wrecked was the only car with the windows up, wonder if there is a correlation!
btw, what does FTMFL stand for. I am needing new brakes soon and trying to decide what direction to go.
