AC shuts off at WOT, doesn't get you much cool air on a track

There are a couple left in each run group, but it's almost full!

Is anybody interested in testing it out? It needs to be plugged into the OBD2 connector so if you have something else connected, I don't really have a splitter. I'll be testing it during my runs in the intermediate group.
I'll take it for a couple laps if you want!

Rainy track days are amazingly fun! Definitely something everyone needs to do at least once.

Rainy track days are the best! Everyone needs to try at least one.

Haha yeah, I'm sure. It's just been a while since I've been to DDT and I'm hoping to set some new PB's with the tweaks I've made over the off-season.
@wparsons btw, is there an attendance list available?

Only if you are with a safe group. I left mine early because it was making me stupid. But yes, racing in the rain is fun!
