I'm having a brain fart: Can we spray down tires in between runs at a ProSolo? Or can it only be done in grid?

Only in grid.

Newbie question:

Where else would you spray them?

Basically at a ProSolo, there's noplace you could spray them where it'd make a difference. You can do it in grid, but you take all four runs back to back so you never return to grid once the party's started, so that would be of little use. For all other autocross applications, you can do it in the grid between runs.

Oh ok, Thanks for explaining this to me, I've not even started with spraying the tires at all yet.
Maybe I should?
I've got RE-01's would you say they could use them at our regular local events?
