So, I did end up using the R1R in the rain on Sat. It was raining pretty hard--to the extent that there was standing water everywhere. At some point it really degenarated into driving to avoid the puddles. As to the tires, I forgot to scrub them before the event--could have done it at the Glen--so the very first session was very slippery. They did fine in the latter sessions. Of course, the cars that were on full rain tires had much more grip, but the R1R was OK overall. It is fine for how I want to use it.
The main event of the event for me was my water pump giving up. Started leaking coolant. Fortunately, I was able to locate a spare pump and a gasket, and replace it. I lucked out with the schedule, and missed only one session! It really helps when you have a bunch of club racers around--they are obviously better prepeared for that kind of thing.
