I ran as low as a 2:42, but the recorder cut off on me. Darn glitches. 

Sunday morning at October FAST was about as wet as it can get and still be passable. 

The inside line on the front straight was VERY treacherous. I dont think the video does justice to how wiggly the car was when beside the pit road guard rails.

In the second video, I also got slightly caught off guard by how much rain ran off the T7 Cliff for north course and had to run more inside to set up for the climbing esses.
