Sky, just make sure you have a set of rain tires and you should be fine. If its raining on Sunday for the regional, ask around and one of us SM guys will help you out.

Good luck

Yes, disconnect one side on the front and rear. Softer suspension helps build heat in the tires. Your "hot" pressures in the wet will be different as well.

thx for the respond guys.
so i should lower my tire pressure as well.
but what's the tire pressure the ra1 like?i used to run nt01 that's the first set ra1 that i have.

Sky read the other post on the duplicate chain I posted. Lowering your air pressure is not a good idea, that takes pressure off the center of the tread and holds water IN. Stay around 38-40 psi if there is any standing water.

Most people will only disconnect the rear bar. I've disconnected both when it was really sketchy but that depends on how the car is handling on a given track as oversteer vs. understeer.

Thanks for all the help guys.
I will try disconnect the Rear bar and have more Tire pressure.

Sky, yes, I will be there. #29 white with blue stripes.
