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.
