Who's racing in this heat. I'm very grateful to have been out yesterday and once before but I think this is the hottest i have ever been out. I need to work on my lights and need the seat time so I go have fun.

Hey 383 man I don't think their is much difference in temperatures between your side or my side of the mountain. Decided to try 6.50 racing this year so I'm learning how to slow the car down and pro tree. I have always been bad at the lights. I will be 67 this year so the heat bothers me also but I want to learn this before I get old. (Time is running out)I hate racing when its real hot. I think the older I have gotten the more the heat bothers me. In fact I never race in July and August here in Maryland where I live as its just to hot and humid for me then. And I like to go racing to have fun but I just can't enjoy myself when I am sweating so bad that I am miserable. Plus I wear glasses and when real hot my glasses start to fog up in the car with all the windows up. But I don't race a lot anymore anyway as I just like to go when I can enjoy it and have fun and not be sweating so bad I can't stand it. I guess you guys have to be really devoted to like to race in the real hot days ? Ron
Lol - I could answer this since I'm 65. Luckily I'm still pretty capable despite my old bad habits, three surgeries from injuries, and do some things my wife tells me I shouldn't do anymore. Just never could sit around much, it drives me friggin crazy if I'm not doing something productive. My dad was the same way, suppose I inherited that trait. Just retired 7/1...well say around 90% right now having one client asking me to hang on a few more months. Got dozens of fix-it projects and it's nice to start a project and not be concerned that I have to stop because of 'work'. Different feeling that takes getting used to though.Heat doesnt bother me to bad. I'll keep a cold rag to wipe my face before the helmet goes on. Always have a cold water in the car. I wear full 3.2A 5 suit and gloves. Old? Is 65 old?
