Rice paddies huh?
It's not like I'm there to race, or brag about how many cars I passed. I go the these events because I have the most fun I've had in months and I get to better myself as a driver. I have never done an auto-x or a DE event in the wet. I have even been on a skidpan but that was in the dry too (they have a hydraulic frame on the car that lifts whichever wheels the instructor sees fit). So, basically, I have never pushed my car in the wet and have no idea of its limits in those weather conditions and would like the oppurtunity to do so in a safe environement; I am well aware that AWD cars will go off track in poor weather conditions just as easily as any other drivetrain configuration.
I'm not looking forward to the interior of my car getting soaking wet, or caked in mud, but the experience I gain will be worth it. Plus: if it's raining then I'll be on my daily driver wheels/tyres and they're not exactly stellar in wet or dry driving conditions.
