The reason nothing extra was put down (I think) was because we were coming to the end of the event. At 7:00 nobody had a traction problem, but at 7:30 it was. I would guess that the mist in the cool air was just starting to accumulate more and it affected cars with street tires more so than with slicks!
I cut my best 60' (1.93) in the G8 on the 19" rubber doing a small burnout after slowly going through the water so I don't see this being an issue.
