I dont think so, which is crazy because it was a freakin monsoon! The 7 got its electrical too wet and cut out, but after we let it dry it was back to normal.

I towed that 7 down there. Which is a good thing, because we snapped the A-arm bracket on the last run.

The Z32 had an SBC in it. He had starting/running issues all day.

As far as hydrolocking, there was a blue fastback w/ flames and kouki wing that drove through this same puddle but more to our right:

But he drove on the drain and the water level was over his hood. Another guy had water get past his coilpacks, and a few people fried their MAF's.

And again, AWESOME PICS!!!

(For those who aren't sure, those are the passenger door moldings flying off of the white E36)
