    HEAT .......

    Depending on humidity - those evaporative coolers @ sams work pretty good for all you pop-up'ers. Long as you got 120v and a water supply. Just don't aim it at the bike

    Im talking about throwing leathers, boots, helmet and gloves on and then go racing in this heat......but a cooler would be good for watching the races..

    HEAT .......

    I was sweating bullets just standing around watching them all today, I can't even imagine how hot it was in full leathers out there. Bob measured the infield road temp @ 123F so I'm sure the track was quite a bit hotter.

    Hope y'all stayed hydrated.

    HEAT .......

    It's 9:45pm I just finished strapping my bikes on the trailer and I'm sweating like a pig. It's not even like I was working hard.

    You suck at life. Why don't you quit?

    My dad told me I could be anything I wanted when I grew up. So I became an Asshole.
