My thought exactly. Couple years ago for my class, we had first run dry,
second run wet, third run dry. Actually, it started raining midway through
first run (after I'd run), and quit after the second but didn't really get
dry until the last half of the third. So most everyone got two wet and one
dry run -- the winners were the late drivers whose dry run was their third
instead of their first.

Sounds like enough reason right there for a new set, rain or no. Remember
too, Topeka is sticky/abrasive concrete. You'd hate for the cord to come up
midway through your first-day runs. New tires for Nationals is not a bad
strategy.
