Pretty simple Jefferson, its not want to get the shot, in Mikes case as is mine and many others, we don't want to get the shot, we NEED to get the shot. When you are employed by someone to get the shot no matter the weather or conditions you need it.
I've seen many on the sidelines saying oh my gear is water proof, etc. No its not, its water resistant like a watch, etc. And if the seal is bad or there is a screw missing or something then there are openings for water to get in.
I have no problem paying under 200 for peace of mind, no it may not fully protect you but when you shoot in a hurricane or torrential rain, but when you need the shot I'll take the extra protection.
And I've seen 6 figure cars on the track in the rain, they are getting paid to be out there, an accident is part of doing business as is shooting in the rain, snow, etc.
I wouldn't have gotten this shot if I went back in to dry up,

Your
want to
should have more influence on your shot than your
have to
Rain can add much to a shot and embed an artistic quality into the image
enhance that feeling of competition
etc
etc
I, believe it or not, understand the need to get the shot
not from the want to live indoors and eat regular
but from the need derived from personal motivation
you come across as having lost that motivation
Lighten up
and Ive seen a few high dollar rides on track
rubbing fenders .. in the mud, guard rails, each other
. all in the rain
