Normal lap times dry is 2:10-2:12. I discovered that my Wet time was 2:20-2:30 depending on traffic on the track.

Rain was fun but def more fun dry.

Similar experience at Big Willow. It was a learning experience, I would do it again, learned alot about my brakes and throttle, was about 10-15 seconds slower overall, but is definitely more fun dry. Glad you made it home!

Rainy track days are hands down the best way to learn car control. Absolutely go in the rain if you can.
