yeah, i had just changed up my tires and was stoked to slide through some mud... i think it was a good call for everyone's safety to hold up during the lightning strikes, but the water on the course wasnt thaaaat bad.
when i did my fun lap im sure i did at least 10 seconds better then i did on my 4th... plus it didnt rain anymore after that. oh well. only 8 weeks till the next one
The problem was not so much that people couldn't make it around the course per se. The problem was the conditions were changing so rapidly that one car might get a really good time, then it would start raining again and the next car would be a minute slower than normal. Scoring in those conditions would be very unfair. If it had been consistently wet or consistently dry it might have been a level playing field.
Also if someone was really competitive they might have been tempted to push well beyond their car/tires limits for those conditions and would be more likely to do some serious damage. Giving people fun runs allowed them to play/test/learn without having to worry about getting a good time.
Personally, when I took my fun run I tried to see if I could get around the course without sliding off (i.e. to finish first, first you must finish) which meant I was probably going a lot slower than most people around the corners but I didn't spend a lot of time spinning my wheels trying to get out of mud holes like I saw a lot of other people doing.
