Why is everyone so pressed on the weather. It's rain, your car will be fine. Seriously. Who cares what tires you are on? I've got Nitto road race radials in the rear with tread is down to the wear bars and it's still fine in the rain as long as I'm smart.

because i have a dd for the simple fact that id like to keep my car out of the rain when i can. also they way my locker seems to act on dry pavement makes me think i wont like it with drag radials if i hit rain. just a personal choice.
That's cool, just wondering. I hope it stays dry for you then. :beer:
What kind of locker do you have in your car? I've got an Auburn Pro in the Cobra and a Powertrax No-slip in the rear of the Jeep and both seem perfectly fine in the rain.
detroit locker. im sure if i had to i could drive it in the rain im just not trying to push my luck. its prolly only because ive had my car back for only a few days and im just worried something will happen to it. havent really driven the thing much in the past two years its always broken.:beer:
Drag Radials aren't designed for rain! I guess you haven't heard the horror stories of guys WRECKING their cars from driving on drag radials in the rain? If I happen to get caught coming home in the rain etc., I deal with it, but there's no way I'd purposesly try to go out in the rain with them unless I absolutely had to. Not worth the risk. This cruise is meant to be a fun event and driving white knuckled to Philly and back is not my definition of fun. Not sure what other folks reasons are, but that's mine!
I will post up by 8AM if I am not going to be at Safeway....Might have to wait for ya'll along 95 somewhere a little later. It will be a game-time decision. I would prefer not to have to detail the underside of the car anytime soon. Looks like the rain is supposed to be done up here by 7AM'ish
I'm not going to make it, I've taken my car down Jasons. Have fun everyone who goes
I will meet y'all at IKEA in College Park.
Well from the looks of the radar... Its GONNA rain! I guess I just wasted a hour and a half cleaning my car. Oh well, hopefully its dry by the time I pull out. I'll be at the Panera Bread at Plaza 7 Pike or whatever its called.

I'm with you Greg, I can only go for so long and then I have to cut out.
Leaving soon
8Am and it looks like the rain is starting to lighten up. I won't make it to Safeway but will shoot for college park.. If it's still too wet, then I gab ahold of the pack along 95. Stay safe in the water
Leaving now... I'lll be at Plaza Seven Pike or whatever

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted until now. The event was a great success, even in the rain. Next year will be bigger and better, I promise. Thanks to everyone for coming out!
