One important technique is to use smooth inputs with the brakes, throttle, and steering wheel. As mentioned, the normal race line tends to be smooth and slippery. Frequently these spots have been filled with concrete. Avoid concrete. At Thunderbolt I believe the only place with concrete is the Octopus and there is not too much. This might be a place to try a rim shot. If you have the ability to soften your suspension, try that. Full soft on swaybars etc. I haven't driven Thunderbolt when it was wet but I know from watching the Grand-Am that the track puddles at the approach to turn 1.
