Default cups in the wet?

Got a track day on Sunday and it could very well be wet. What are people's thoughts on running cups or is it a waste of time?

The way I look at it is this. Wear cups, if it rains very hard stay indoors, if it rains, go out carefully (if you have gripper tyres you just come off faster), if it's wet Cups need to be driven hard to get temps up then they will grip as long as there is not deep standing water, if it's dry WIN
