I think that 80*-83*f temp is optimistic at best {low}
it may be that temp in the early morning
when they run after 1:00pm start 'It's gonna' be hot'
the marine layer may come in later or real early,
but during the mid day 'it's direct sun' & hot...
But;
The air will be good, it's sea level...
Hopefully the sun doesn't make it slippery as hell
& a smoke fest
or god forbid a one lane racetrack,
like so many races have been this season...

I think I'm going to throw in the towel for this year. oc, if you want to let my latest picks ride the rest of the season, that's fine with me. I've lost interest being so far back, and I'm finding the broadcasts to be less and less watchable each race.

Good luck you guys!

OK, your picks are locked for the rest of the season including the 'Countdown'.
Don't forget, the points get reset after the U.S. Nationals and point discrepancy won't be nearly as great. Take a look after the U.S. Nationals and give it another shot!
