Oulton in a kitcar without windscreen or weather gear
What would you do if the weather was looking like it was a bit iffy - "predominantly showers" and you only had an aero screen/brooklands
screen/wind deflector - i.e. no weather gear or windscreen

Look at the sky in the morning and think "sod it I'll go anyway"
Take a change of clothes in a carrier bag just in case
Tell everyone that light rain is all part of the fun

Was pissing it down for my 1st SVA.
Just put a mac and some goggles on and I was fine.
Trying to figure out if your boxes will fit in the locost 
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

Thats another reason for taking the tintop as I probably need to take a modified sump & at least 1 passenger with me and I think it will be
cramped in the kitcar

Take the kit car regardless if you dont have too far to travel. Helmet and waterproofs will keep you OK for the travel. Some bin bags etc will keep
seats dry when parked up. Sump can be placed in bag under passengers legs.
If i was going it is a long drive so would take tintop to keep fuel costs down. (55mpg in diesel vs 20mpg in kit would save me approx £40).
I have same thoughts for teessdide track day - going whatever the weather is in ZR.

2 out of 3 mots have been in major rain, 1st one with brake bias set back to front complete with hail, i had puddle in my lap.
depends on distance, kit car + rain= danger. they can't see you, you can't accelerate unless you're in 4th gear. all in a crap
journey.
I've no weather gear but i did buy a car cape from halfrauds and added a couple of extra bungee straps and hooks. it keeps the cockpit dry when
it rains, and keeps nosy fingers out.
CHas.
