We've established the fact that I like racing and I think I found a way to make it better. Race in the rain. Better yet let's wait until the weather gets really bad and then race in that. As a meteorologist and a race fan I think that might be the perfect setup. NASCAR got to do so on Saturday in its Nationwide Series and I liked it for the most part, but not sure if its right for the big bulky cars of NASCAR.

Because NASCAR uses cars that are large and not very close to the ground I'm not sure that it would be too great, but I think it should be explored. Since only about 5% of NASCAR races are on road courses I doubt that we'll see much of this type of racing. Doing this on a high speed oval is just too dangerous. Even though NASCAR said that it won't put the rain tires on for this weekends race at the road course Watkins Glen, I'm still holding out hope.

If you're interested in watching cars race in rain then check out the other major racing series. Indy will race in the rain on road courses and F-1 starts the race on time pretty much no matter what is falling from the sky. I have watched F-1 races in the rain and it is quite amazing how the cars can handle in the rain. I also think its good to do research to possibly make a better tire for our cars in the rain. Research for cars is one of the reasons racing grew so much in the past.
