Wow, that's pretty bad. Always something I think about since there is so little runoff in turn 1. How cold was it that weekend? When I was there in mid March with BMW club it was a high of 35 degrees and it SNOWED 5 inches the night before!

Ryan and I have had some fun in the turbo's in the rain at summit point. But the AWD is nice in to have in less than ideal conditions
