lower pressure in tyres significantly. I race gp 4000 S II 23 mm clincher tires on wet brick crit courses and it's worked out thus far but i don't have any comparison with tubulars.

Hope you did well at Corsicana, Creaky! I got shelled in that crit, terrified at nearly every corner - Cat 3.

I was planning on going up there (Cat 3 as well) and decided I wasn't interested in driving 6 hours to race a night crit on wet bricks and kill any chances of GC contention. I would have had zero chance in the crit given my risk averse nature.
