Champ Car in the wet.

[David Birkbeck]

Second round of qualifying today at Portland was about as wet as it can get. The first half of the PIR Atlantic doubleheader also took place in the downpour.

Great stuff! I always love the wet shots... so dramatic with all the spray.

Open wheel always looks cool in the rain.

It looks like you found a good spot for the rain - with the two offs.

It's not supposed to rain in Portland this time of year - at least that's what I remember when I used to go out there for my dayjob.
