There is no 'dry track board'. I believe its the competitors call to change back to slicks if the track dries out after the race starts.
I dont believe that there is any Motorsport NZ/FIA ruling on sending out the safety car in this situation, but in this case it was V8ST's decision to do so if they needed to.
I believe this was due to no-one having done any drying laps on the Hankook wet tyre, so if the tires started to shred themselves or fall apart part way through the race, then V8ST's had the option of putting out a safety car to prevent any major problems arising...
