25 minutes of madness - first proper rain race

I've been trying not to shamelessly plug my race videos here but this one is special. Race begins around 12minutes and is a strong contender for my favorite race of the year.

Strong focus on staying upright as well as hitting apexes to rely on being on line to be fast with a fairly good multi-lap battle in the first half of the race.

RAIN TIRES ARE AMAZING! The tires slipped everywhere but they held.

I remembered advice from palmer with @csmith12 @adouglas @Ducati999 @Bigballsofpaint and @ttd to roll on smoothly as if my throttle were a clicker and then simply pause at the time the rear starts to slide then continue the roll on when it is back in line. Unfortunately a front mounted camera only does so much to catch rear end slides
