I did a track day on my bike a few weekends ago and probably had one of the best days in my life, I was catching and overtaking guys guys on much faster bikes and enjoying it much more, I was buzzing for days afterwards. I want that feeling again.
I was on Yokis AD08R's, they felt like they were doing a good job in the very wet to almost dry conditions.
Brake feel was rubbish.
Need more grunt.
Handling was pretty decent and predictable.
Driver could have pushed a bit harder.

Don't be too hard on yourself...
Lack of power is probably a good thing on a wet day
Brakes can be improved with upgraded pads, rotors and fluid
Predictable handling is certainly a big step.
Some (eg me) pushed a little harder in the wet and paid the price in the grass & mud.
There are some very big horsepower cars out there.
You're lucky you had an "almost dry" run.
Enjoy the experience...we aren't all Jamie Listers...
