Made the best of it. Grabbed a few beers and sat under the grandstands watching the judged cars go by. I didn't run through till the rain stopped after that loud thunder clap that sounded like a bomb

I stopped for breakfast at the Bob Evans down from the HOtel and was there when the rain started. So I moved my car next door to under the entrance awning of a closed medical building for about five hours. What a bunch of fun that was.

Guess we were close. I was at the American Inn & Suites. I was already parked when it started, knew it was coming, but after the weather I hit 20 mins outta Dayton last year (flash flood, hail and tornado warnings) the car can handle anything

I sure hope it's enough. I don't intend to drive this way, but end up fooling around once in a while. I generally only do it on right hand turns or ramps because I can brace myself against the door panel and stay in the seat. I don't have that option on left hand turns. There's zero lateral support in the 62 - 65 seats. I have taken both the G8 and 63 to a local show where I had a friend driving my G8 following me around a ramp, said he really was pretty well maxed out on that ramp and wouldn't have felt comfortable going any faster and he was behind me. He also commented how little body roll there was in the 63 going full tilt like that. I just hope the 8 lugs are up to it because nothing cornered like that back in those days on the tires from back in the day to test those drums. The brakes however, I feel entirely comfortable with. |

But yeah, I use rainex on the windshield so I'm fine otherwise. And the Michelin Primacys are great in the rain. |

They are a high quality wheel. I ran a set on my Catalina for over 10 years and they were very good.
