Playing in the rain?

I have been going out and sliding around parking lots in the rain the last few nights. Its hella fun and I was just wondering if anyone else does this.

I have some sticky tires (Toyo Proxes FZ-4) but I can still get them loose with the right amount of play. Esp with the rain and drop clutch around 3500 and I can have some fun. Plus rain adds 10 horses for me.

ya i drove from pasadena tonight and that **** is scary. you hit patches of puddles in the rain and your car starts to turn slightly on its own. and if you drive on the fast lane or 1st lane, there's huge puddles and those are scary as hell. On the way home i saw a car sitting on top of the center divider...

I hate it when I screw it up and the back end doesnt come around. It looks so stupid. I have to totaly throw the car into it to make it work right. I cant even imagine how people do erake slides at speed or in dry weather
