I did big willow last month in the rain. People spun on 2 a lot. Personally, the though of AAA in the rain scares me. I would go slow and add speed just a little bit at a time. Not to mention braking into 3, the only real concrete wall in SoCal

That's the way to do it, just build speed. And of course, watch out for turn 3! The triple digits shouldn't be too scary - the braking, accelerating, and turning are the things that'll get ya! (as long as the water doesn't really start pooling, in which case they'd probably halt runs, at least on the east coast tracks).

Have good tires, and be smooth with all your inputs to the car. Nothing jerky. Start off slow and work your way up to speed. Stop where you feel comfortable.
