I tend not to alter my speed all that much. If I aquaplane then I'll knock a bit of speed off. If I aquaplane again I'll slow down a bit more.

The tyres offer more grip in the wet than most people think.

In last years "wet season" I was getting quite used to spinning the rear out of corners. Not sure if the Dullsville even produces enough power to spin the rear on ice.

dullsville seems like an excellent idea though, i can't believe how cheap you got it. Certainly cheap long distance travel spinning the rear = great fun! just need to learn how to do only intentionally
