Yeah, of course we can't say for sure the long wait had anything to do with the crash. That being said, I've made plenty of passes on marginal tracks in these kinds of conditions. Cold starting line, maybe some moisture condencing on the track, slicks that have had too much time to cool (maybe unevenly) sitting in one spot.

Hindsight is always 20-20 (maybe even 20-10 )
