April-May was RAINY in New England---so up goes the soft-top, on go the side curtains (net effect=cutting down moisture content of cockpit by......let's say.......35%
). then I cuts out to Brewster and the like (Outer Cape towns with almost zero traffic) and...(seriously)...practice drifting, apex selection, braking, heel-and-toeing (impossible for a newfie!) and then read some more Carrol Smith's "Drive to Win". A wet twistie is (odd as this may sound) a nifty way to simulate going 30 mph faster on the same road, dry. Lotsa leather-treatment (saddle-soap) means any encrouching moisture just beads up. Interesting, these "front-mid-engined" Butlers---they don't u/steer nor o/steer----they just add radius---very controllable, very forgiving. Now....back to heel-and-toe!
