Can you guys say "rain line"?  In its most elemental sense, this just 
means driving where surface is less polished/slippery when its wet. 
Start "off line" and gradually work back toward the racing line, 
until the trade off between traction and efficient line is abpout 
equal.  This ain't rocket science, but it's one of the things that 
makes rain so much fun - and such a great equalizer. Enjoy.
