Jack, I found from my one and only experience on a (real) wet track was that I was driving from concrete patch to concrete patch. I think it was becoming a crutch for me and my line wasn't quite right then and espcially when conditions dried the next day. I imagine it's an easy mistake for rookies like me to make.

Note that this is not always the case. At Mid-Ohio, for instance, the concrete is to be avoided if at all possible when wet -- there are places it is hard to stand up on it is so slick (well, almost). The resurfacing (grooving) done there last spring helped -- for a while, but since the concrete patches are placed where the track gets extra wear, it is no surprise they also tend to be polished smooth.
Driving in the wet is very good for helping you assess and use available grip, as it can change significantly from one part of the track to another.
Be smooth, have fun!
