Based on THIS (http://www.weather.com/outlook/events/sports/tenday/49230?par=foxsports&site=www.foxsports.com&promo=0&cm_ven=FoxSports&cm_cat=www.foxsports.com&cm_pla=MoreWeather&cm_ite=CityPage) I am assuming that at least some of the events at MIS this year will benefit from a rain setup.

Unfortunately, I still lack a second set of wheels to mount my rain tires to, so I must shamefully direct you towards my wanted ad, HERE (http://fsae.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/322600868/m/40010218441), as I have received no responses yet, and contacting a few teams directly yielded no benefits. I would like to buy (or borrow, but I am not holding my breath) directly from you at MIS. We will be in paddock 101.

I want to avoid getting a set of wheels from a Civic at a junkyard this weekend, so if you have a set of wheels that sounds even similar to the specs I have posted in the link, please P/M me, or shoot me a message, so we can arrange pickup in Michigan.

Has anyone else been watching the weather in Brooklyn with malevolence like I have? A lot of our electronics will get put into plastic bags and other sorts of preventative measures tomorrow I expect.

Best,
Drew

We didn't have a set of rain wheels last year. You can get away with it if you're lucky. The Hoosier and Goodyear guys can bust tires pretty quick.

Needless to say it was slightly stressful waiting for endurance.. with the tire companies packing up.. with rain clouds coming in and wondering "shit.. do we mount the intermediates?! or stick with the dries?"
