Default Will IRL Cancel Watkins Race Due To Rain? - 06-03-2006 , 06:58 PM






They've never raced in the rain before, this could be the big one that breaks
what few remaining obscene and ugly chassis they have left. Let's hope that
Tony cancels the race because rain and IRL drivers just don't mix. We don't
want any drivers getting hurt due to inexperience.

Wet weather spin offs & crashes do tear off wings & wheels but
historically don't cause many injuries, helped I'm sure by traveling
20-40% slower in the wet. They have to learn sometime if they are going
to run road & street courses. Also off the top of my head it looks like
at least 2/3 of the field have had some rain experience in some formula
class.
