Some people do; some people don\u2019t. Some people enjoy it; some people don\u2019t. Driving in the rain, that is.<\/p>\n

Apart from being the title of two wonderful books\u2014the real racing one by John Horsman, (Racing in the Rain) and the other (The Art of Racing in the Rain) \u201cwritten\u201d by that very smart, racing savvy dog\u2014racing in the rain is much more a European activity. Circle track speedway, especially the high-speed ovals, for good reasons of safety, have their rain delays. On the other hand, road racing, like golf, does not hesitate to continue when the skies open. If one can drive on the highway in heavy rain, then why not on a road course? There are some countries where if wet weather racing were not permitted there would actually be little competition. Just like golf in England, where the saying goes, \u201cIf you don\u2019t play golf in the rain (or snow) you won\u2019t play much golf.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
