So...coilovers were not installed. My shops compressor was being serviced all week after work. GREAT. This paved the road for what would be an awful week with the car. Already bummed, I decided to suck it up and go another round with the stock suspension. Leaving straight from work, I went to go wash the car using a touchless car wash. Bad idea. The 370 is apparently too wide, and I curbed a couple wheels on the equipment. What......the f. They say fake parts break hearts, but when you curb a real deal wheel, it crushes your soul lol. Saturday, my plan was to show up in the afternoon and setup the EZ up and chill with some people who were running during the day. When I showed up at around 2:30, it was already pouring rain. It was a nightmare to say the least lol. It was POURING out all... freakin... day. The track was flooded as hell. A couple groups ran, and the safety team at the track shut the track down for a little bit in hopes that the rain would die down and water would drain down on the track. When the organizers called an emergency drivers meeting at 6:30PM, I thought they were going to call it a day and pack it up. Instead, they left it up to us drivers to determine if we should kill the day, or give them an hour to set up a modified course using another part of the track that wasn't flooded. We voted, and decided to run. My first and only run was at about 8:30. It was still raining at this point, and visibility was awful. I decided rather than to concentrate on lap times, to just keep four wheels on the course and not get into any trouble. I put a wheel in the dirt/mud, but zero damage. After that, I apparently missed my groups next run. It was about 10:30 at this point, so I decided to say screw it and pack it up. Us Nissan guys went to Buffalo Wild Wings after that to get over the night lol. It was a crazy night, but at least we got out there with a run. I left frustrated, but also with a ton of respect for the drivers who didn't bitch and got out there, and the organizers for giving the drivers the vote. Next week the coilovers will be installed and the alignment will be done. Next round is at Big Willow, and hopefully it doesn't rain out!
