Great Stuff !
What kind of lap time in the wet?, looks like youre going along at a good clip. Spinning out while leading? - Remember Weedhopper "win the race going slowly as possible" That track was WET boy, I like the part where you get to go off course and drive it back on :-) Looks like good fun.

I ran a track day at Laguna once in a light drizzle all day (on slicks), water running across the track in places (going up the hill from 6 to 7 and the front straight). Spinning it up when hitting the running water such as you.... Well here comes the last session and my buddies say "it's not drizzling any worse than earlier".

SURE.

I head out and quickly realize there is just enough additional water to make it impossible. I decide to crawl around to the pits - going what feels WAY slow....... And crash my brains out. Of course the bike slides off on one side and then digs in and flips taking out the other side. 10 minutes later the track closed for the day. Not quite soon enough for me.
