From the AP article about the first practice at St. Pete:

All of the drivers started on rain tires, only switching to slick dry weather tires after the track surface took on a layer of rubber and was swept clean of most of the accumulated dirt. Rain tires on a dry track? :saywhat: Isn't that what support series are for?

The first practice session at the first Monterrey race comes to mind.

Ok, I wasn't aware of that. It just seemed a little unusual to me. :gomer:
