Davey is right. Most people are uber careful in the wet, so you normally don't see too many crashes at all.

I know from working at the track you have most of your crashes on fine and sunny days when everyone thinks they can push to go a bit faster.

Slicks in the wet might not be fun, but otherwise a few wet sessions and a few dry make for a top day. You learn to be smooth in the wet, practice throttle control and being smooth moving around on the bike.

You gotta be kidding me - a washout in February?? I hope not. Been there, done that. What's the point if you can't push yourself? (Yes, it's a rhetorical question).
