We did run the "Pit Lane" option once in 2006 during the Vanmar Sponsored 4 hour endurance race we tried to run at Pueblo that year. It didn't go all that well. First rain, then lightning touching down about 100 yards off of T9 - it was pretty ugly.

I really don't mind racing in the rain - it makes my leathers stinky (not that they weren't already) and the bike is a pain to clean up, but I tend to do well in rain races, so I don't mind them so much.

That being said, pit lane at PMP isn't really a viable option for a race course. The lane is far too narrow for any kind of wheel to wheel racing (a stop and go with one bike is another thing) and there are a fair number of hard objects very close to what would be the race course.

It is my hope that someday they make a correction to the road course to completely avoid the burnout area of the dragstrip, but until that happens I don't think that racing in the rain at PMP is really a viable option.
