In the rain I left TC on, and it helped in the 9/10 complex. Also if it's raining, make sure you aim for the timing tower coming out of 3 going up the hill at 4 and stay straight; there is a ton of room to the left, even though it doesn't look like it as you're climbing the hill. Turning right as you go over the hill will put you into the wall in the rain.
You can't see it in the video below, but throttle lift oversteer in the middle of turn 2 really helps rotate the car to set up for turn 3. For 7b/8, you pretty much run over the ENTIRE curb on the left; take that complex straight through. And for turn 11, it's a blind apex, but they usually have a little white stick/cone that you can see from far back; you'll turn in before you actually see the apex itself, so use that stick as reference.

Thanks for the tips. As of right now Saturday looks like it will be wet and Sunday will be cold and drying.
I'll definitely be keeping TC on (sport) if it's raining and I'll have an instructor riding along as well to help me stay safe.
My dad "owns" 3 pieces of expensive guard rail at Barber as a result of a brush against one in a club race.
I don't want to be forced to own any as well!
