There was a thread on the wheel-to-wheel list about a track in the
Mid-West (Heartland?) that was a dual purpose dragstrip / road
course and had the same problem -- incredibly slick in the rain in
the "launch" area of the dragstrip. Someone mentioned that the
NHRA is using some new chemical for burnouts, and this might
be causing the condition.
Just spreading a rumor,
