Not to bad..... just two feet of snow one day and 5 inches of rain another. Usual Ohio  Don't worry about it being warm in June, it ranges from pleasantly warm to oppressively humid to nearly tropical downpours at times. But, we always seem to get at least some good weather on that weekend  Just check the forecast before you leave so you know what to bring! |

who cares if it rains
It only rains on Friday for the LCS. 
I missed the first year but have attend the rest. I think it has rained on the last two Fridays but that did not stop us. We had a great time anyway. Hey these cars are made of the same stuff they make boats out of.
We did drive 70 miles in the rain on the re-turn trip home last year. Had to stop in Shepherdsville, KY for 5 hours till the storm moved thru Tenn. We got home at midnight Monday. We left Columbus Sunday night about 10:30. Long drive. Lot of great memories and a trip that we still talk about. And a few good pics.
I did get a good laught when Coach Mike found one and half inches of water in his foot box.

I've been to all but one of the shows and it has rained on me sometime, somewhere, nearly every year. Either on the drive to Ohio, at the show, or on the drive back to Indiana. But I've never had anything but a great time. Neither I nor the car has suffered from the experience. The nice weather has been much more plentiful than the bad weather. I would, however, recommend knocking off several mph's when it's really coming down hard.

Tires / rain
most important is street tires.
Good street tires that will hold a Cobra on the rain soaked street. I use BFG G-Forces tires. I have no trouble driving on the interstate at 70 in heavy rain. The G-Force tires do their job.
When it rains, just lean forward and drive faster.
That lets the rain blow over you. You will need a baseball cap to keep you hair dry.
RainX both sides of the windshield because the back side gets just as wet as the front. Keep a rag to wipe the back side of the windshield. I have raincoats behind the seats but I have never used them.
We have pulled into the covered gas station and waited till the rain passed. But most of the time we keep going because you can drive out of the rain storm.
Don't let the threat of rain keep you in the garage. 
Dwight

It is Ohio in the Summer. Average is about 85F, a decent bit of humitity and always a chance of showers. Best was about 70's worst in the mid 90's. The current forecast does not go out far enough yet and even if it did, it does not mean a thing!

Actually, the first two years it rained on Saturday, usually about the every one was pulling out to go to the drag strip. Starting with year number three, its pretty much been rain on Friday, and a beautiful day on Saturday! |

You really do have clout.
