But yeah, the rain was a great learning experience, and tons of fun. For some reason, my faster runs always involved me being tail-happy and getting sideways during braking, so maybe that's something to look into setup-wise when I fix my wheel bearings and get a long-needed alignment.

I honestly feel the same way about my 520 treadwear all-seasons, but it doesn't stop me from bitching about them every chance I get. As far as today went, they came through surprisingly well, all things considered.
who was andrew again?

BTW, congrats on getting your car to be tail happy. I was having a hard time getting mine to kick out, I gave up after the morning session,and my times were much faster in the afternoon as a result.
