going on 25mph in rain could be dangerous. Doing donuts would be more safer since it doesn't need much space in case you coudln't control the car. Especially for beginners.

Come to some of the autocrosses during the rainy season. Even if it doesn't rain you will learn something about controlling your car when you've been too optimistic about its capabilities. If it does rain you will definitely learn a lot.

I'm looking forward to the rain. I just ordered new Neovas. The ones I have are down to the wear bars in the rear.

Dude, what are you talking about? You can run top up at an autocross if you want to, you just look like a fool.
