Looking at the forecast, it looks like we should be dry (highest forcast percentage is 30% chance on Saturday) this weekend but we expect it to be very hot. Depending on where you get your weather misinformation, highs look to be about 95 degrees
All students and racers should literally start hydrating first thing in the morning before you start to ride and keep it going all day. I've found that a two minute cold shower in the middle of the day can do wonders to lower your body temperature....and Loudon's facilities are open for all to use. If you have a bike that tends to run hot, a little water-wetter type additive (we use Maxima Cool Aide) does help the bikes run a little cooler, and you'll want to avoid any extended idling on pit lane - especially after you ride.
Given the alternative of 45 degree weather, I'll take this anytime. Plus, think of the positives....tires are much less prone to tearing in the summer time....See you all up at the track!
I'm already gasping for air.

Close your eyes, look deep in your soul, step outside yourself and let your mind go.
Also...be hydrating the day before, not just day of the event. If you go into the day dehydrated, you won't catch up.
Watch what you eat & drink too!
We'll be farting around on our lake ALLLLL weekend long if'n any of ya feel like stopping in. Well, except for 2 Shots...
Did you grit your teeth and try to look like Clint Fuckin' Eastwood?
Or did you lisp it all hangfisted like a fuckin' flower?
Not participating in this....
but make sure you hydrate at least 24 hours before. Drinking the day of will not be enough.
Also go easy on the coffee.
Just DRINKING won't be enough. Again, be careful what you eat & drink all weekend. Avoid caffeine & carbonated drinks (well, when you can!) and greasy, fatty and/or starchy foods. Fruits & veggies with high water content also have minerals & vitamins that'll help hydrate as well as properties that will help your body absorb & retain water...

Can't wait for Friday but not looking forward to the heat at all.
It'll all be good. Like I said, given the choice I'll take hot over cold anytime. It gives people a little motivation to come into the air conditioned classrooms in the afternoon.....

In the end, any forecast without rain is better than a forecast with it......I'll take the hot weather and shut my mouth thank you very much.
If you aren't hydrating right now, you probably should be.
