Default First HPDE at RPM

Hey guys!

I'll be heading up to Raceway Park of the Midlands this coming weekend for my first HPDE in the Z. Of course, I wisely selected a rainy weekend to start road course instruction.

In preparation, I've swapped the brake & clutch fluid for RBF600, and the brakes to Carbotech XP10f/XP8r (holy crap these things are great!). I've added the yaw sensor delete switch, and I have an FI oil cooler coming tomorrow that I'll put on before I head up to Iowa. The tires are A/S3+ with about 2k miles on them.

So, I've driven reasonably fast cars a bit fast, but nothing like this, and certainly not in the rain. I did some holiday laps at VIR in a 400HP FD RX7, but that was tame, and only got up to maybe 100mph on the back straight.

Do you guys have any last minute suggestions/tweaks or tips for handling rain in the Z?

Thanks!
