what track??. go around the water turn the tires over a little to clean them off, then use your left foot on the brake and give it a little gas and when the last yellow comes on mash it. but if it spins next runs try pedaling it out a little. good luck let us know how you do.

at every track ive been to you can just drive around it, if you cant I would say do a burnout then to get the water off. but you should be able to get around it.
