Willow Springs in the wet ... any recommendations

[Acid_J]

should I run the same tire pressures as on a dry day or lower? I would assume since cornering speeds will be lower that you can run lower tire pressures (less tire roll to worry about). I generally try to run 40 hot (start at 34ish cold) on a dry track.

J,

Ask your instructor. Generally the rule is to run a little higher cold pressure in the rain to prevent hydroplane. Also the tires don't really heat up much so warm tires don't gain a lot of psi over cold. It really depends on how wet it is that day.

Don't over think set up issues... set normal tire pressures and go from there. Putting a pound more or less pressure into the tires isn't going to make a big difference when you are learning. I don't put pressures up or down for the rain at the track, the tenth of a second difference that it might make in my lap times isn't worth it for a DE IMHO.
