Having been caught in a downpours during races on true slicks, trust me that it ain’t that easy. If there is standing water, slicks are diabolical. The worst for me was a race at the Glen circa 2008. I was in the lead when it started to rain, so I stayed out. The last lap, there was standing water in the front straight. I took the checker going maybe 30mph. I lifted immediately and thought I was going to crash in T1.
