I'd agree with you if surface was just moist but it there is any standing water you want weight in the rear. Also depends on course. If its a momentum course rear weight wont matter much but if you have many slow turns where you need to accelerate the car will benefit from added weight in the rear.

I'm not gonna argue with experience. I have only run in damp and that was years ago in a stock MGB. Not much problem geting power from it to the ground.
