Sounds pretty much like my first outing, also at Snetterton!
The bikes are certainly an acquired taste but you will learn so much about riding them fast because you can't make up the difference "on the power" like the big bikes.

Also, just because it rains it doesn't mean you're not learning anything. What are you going to do if it rains before your race? Get yourself out there and learn what it feels like in the rain so you are prepared. You might actually enjoy it and have an advantage over the other riders.
