Funny you should mention Mid-Ohio. That was where my only wet-track experience occurred, and it WAS last spring subsequent to the resurfacing. My instructor was having me drive the concrete patches. Now I'm confused.
Todd, sorry for the hi-jack. So, back to you...my only other advice is if there are garages available to rent at the track, do so! It'll make you much happier jumping in and out of your car where it's dry. And, you'll have a dry place to keep your stuff. That's always good. I shared a garage with another guy at Mid-Ohio and we never suffered, even during the multiple downpours.
