Grass! Help!

Most races here in socal are mostly on grass. I hate grass. I hate it so much. It feels like I'm pedaling through molasses.

What can be done to be faster through grass, tire-wise? More pressure? Skinnier rather than fatter tires? Low-profile knobby, file tread?

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm currently running a 35c maxxis raze in back and a 35c ritchey speedmax in front. This combo is good for dirt because I need something that really grips in corners in front, but on grass it feels like maybe the speedmax is real slow, but it's hard to tell if that's really the case or not.
