It was wicked hot last year!! The temp was reading just shy of 100 when we made that stop outside of Chi town. I should know, JDM and I were in my Talon with NO ac the whole ride there. Yeah, raining with the windows up, with no AC, no thanks!

Plus, we hit almost 120 degree track temps last year. I clearly remember hearing 116 degree track temp. Wait, who am I kidding, I was too drunk to remember anything about the trip except for the fact that it was fun.

Last year wasn't that hot. The year before was about 20 degrees hotter. Last year was all sorts of 70s :banana: hopefully this year will be 50-60 :)

It's not going to be 50 in Ohio in August. Maybe in December.

Are you nuts man? The temp was almost a 100 on the way down and like 90+ on both Sat. and Sun. Does anyone else remember this or is it just me?

You're nuts ;) I remember we looked at weather.com the day before going and saying how nice of weather it was going to be compared to the year before with it being mid 70s all weekend.

I know it was way hotter than 70 degrees. I know it was 96 degrees when we went through Chicago, right Nash? You don't remember sweating your ass off??

[Shane@DBPerformance]

I don't remember it being that hot last year compared to previous years. I don't remember dieing in the bleachers like in previous years. I remember a cool morning the day of the Shootout. I don't remember sweating too bad changing the clutch in the parking lot. I remember freezing my ass off laying in an inch deep puddle of water as it rained a torrential downpour as I tried to unhook the driveshafts for towing. :)

I remember driving through Chicago both 2 years and 3 years ago and it felt like it was 110 and then breezing through last year without too many delays and heat, but maybe we hit it on different days.

I can recall looking at the bank temp and it reading almost 100 when we stopped outside of Chi town.

All three years I've been there, it was hot as hell. The last time I drove my car, my feet were sweating the whole way. One more reason to ride the trailer this year. ;) Although being a month later, I'm hoping for low 70's, which would make for some records being broken I'm sure. Shep will be in the 7's by then. :3gears:

[JDM]

Way fuckin hotter than you guys give credit. I'd venture to say that it was between 85-90 during peak heat hours, and around 75-80 the majority of the rest of the day. That's air temps. I do recall hearing about INSANE track temps, and how I spent 50 bucks on keyboard cleaner for Joey's Intercooler.

It was fuckin' hot. :razz2:


And yes Joe, you were too drunk. :lol:

spounge.

[AJ]

A BIG FUCKING BUMP! Comming up on us pretty quick!
