yes In the rain I am befuzzled, about 2 months ago I got ROMPED by the usual
suspects that I beat by 2-3 sec, in the rain, hint. FTD was on ADVANS 2nd
FTD was on new toyo's I was 3rd on Hoosiers (can you say Hydroplane) but my
street tires were still 2 sec slower even in the downpour (during fun runs)
yes they are GOOD in the wet
