my CRX is DM as well.

Sucks to race in the rain with no windsheild wipers, or window defroster.

You end up with a view like this:



or here's the video:

and check out the oversteer on the first turn after the slalom at the start.. Obviously it was my fault. But the surface was pretty slippery

I had my first event in the rain the other weekend too. Pretty sweet, huh? I spun out big time on the first turn! But then I eased up a bit and came in 4th in STS.

that IS with rain-x believe it or not. We just don't get up to a high enough speed to have the water really sheet off that well.

We have a california water blade now that takes the rain off pretty well, but we were caught without it on that run. It started raining just as I was staging.

What is a "California water blade?"

I got lucky at my last event, the rain stayed away for both my mourning, and afternoon runs.

basically, it's a glorified squegee. Except you can use it on car bodies, and windows, and it won't stratch the paint...or lexan, in this case.
