    I realize I am asking for a flame job but....any idea of a reasonable lap time at Barber in the rain (any class machine is fine for comparison)? I am mourning a lost paint job as I wash the mud out and hoping it was worth it.
    If it matters, air temp was 80'ish.

    I was able to get to a 1:54 in full wet on pirelli rains. Not fast by any stretch of the imagination, but I was happy with it lol.

    51 lap before skid-scratch-launch-crunch. On SV so not much but paint and hope lost.

    seems like the average is about 10-12 seconds slower than your dry times. I haven't personally run it full wet, but I've been there when others I was pitted with were running it wet and I compared the times.

    it also depends on how much water is on the track. i've done 47's on an sv when the track was wet with no standing water and no rain falling. this past time when there was standing water running across the track and continous rain, it was more in the 51-52 range if i remember.

    Barber seems to hold water quite a bit on the track, it really depends on how wet it was.
