man you guys must be gettin old! Truthfully i would rather race when its not as hot, but i have no problem jumpin in the car when its 90+ degrees ot. Like said above a hot day at the track is still better than workin or something. The summertime is really the only time to race around here so im going to every chance I get But then again im a young whipper snapper... Casey

what a bunch of wusssses been racing in the heat forever. as long as it's in the evening I don't care. the mid day races get a little warm.
You dont mind because you live in the North. I race with baggy clothes or suit depending on how fast i decide to go and dont see any difference in the five gallons of sweat.I need windshield wipers for my eyes to keep the water from pouring down out of the helmet.

try a cool collar around your neck. you can get them form walmart I think. it will keep your eyes from sweating. I shouldn't tell you that I may have to race you one day

IN what section of the store would you find a cool collar?? I use a big bandana with ice in it around my neck, it works good but sometime it sure gets cold. I would love to have something that was made for that purpose.
look over in the sports section, they have a jell in them. you throw them in the cooler for a few minutes and they stay cool for a while. they really work.
