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..

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.

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.

it was hot as hell at the track today. I thought i was gonna pass out just being a spectator.


My friends dad used to race up ther ein the 70s and he was telling me that he had one race where people kept crashing b/c of heat exhaustion.... literally just passing out.
