If you drank a bottle of water, it fell out your feet. Now, we wear the heat like a badge of honor! The most amazing thing was seeing Redman bring the track around in that heat.
FYI, historical weather data and high temps Fri-Sat-Sun, first weekend in May each year at National Trail Raceway... 2013 - 78 / 73 / 73 - all clear 2012 - 87 / 81 / 80 - SAT (light rain 8:30PM-10:30PM only) 2011 - 57 / 64 / 69 - SUN (.07" precip 8AM-9AM only) 2010 - 82 / 71 / 73 - SAT (.04" precip 11:20AM -1PM only), SUN: wash 2009 - 71 / 62 / 64 - FRI: wash, Sat-Sun all clear 2008 - 80 / 70 / 63 - FRI (.12" precip 5:30PM-8PM), SAT (6AM-Noon), SUN clear 2007 - 75 / 66 / 66 - SAT (2PM-7PM), Fri & Sun clear 2006 - 72 / 61 / 64 - all clear 2005 - 55 / 54 / 55 - all clear 2004 - 62 / 79 / 52 - FRI: wash, SAT clear til 10PM, SUN rain til 1PM, SUN clear 2003 - 66 / 63 / 69 - SAT sprinkle @ 7PM, Fri & Sun clear 2002 - 57 / 66 / 72 - all clear Really, in 12 years, only 2010 would've been really bad. There's a couple of years that we could've gotten through with some schedule adjustments. Historically, might have to deal with a stray shower once at some point during the weekend. Those are about as good of odds as you could ask for.

if you remember my gimpy cart had stacks of water bottles in the basket, I was out in the stuff everyday running things from the lanes, wouldn't trade the deal for the world, it was damn hot but we got through it. Yes Jeff was Stock winner while Willy Devore was the SS winner with his stick shift Camaro

And thanks to each and everyone who worked that event! Redman kept the bite there all weekend in that heat and sandy soil! Convinced me that no bite because its too hot is BS. Nitro busted his butt for at least 4 days. I remember water in the motor home was so warm in the tanks that a cold shower in the shower room at the track was best. It was HOT but GREAT! Holmes over Terrance in the index race if I remember correct. Also, some things that come to mind: Alex and Nitro were at the gate and thanked us for coming, Terry Bell was in the heat a day early teaching cars at trailers to get a head start and keep down the lines in tech the next day and also introduced himself and thanked us again for coming, Alex was at the gate late Sunday and as I was leaving thanked me again for attending. Was a great time and an extremely well run event considering it was the first. Also being amazed at Adger Smith, who was still recovering from a bad accident, was everywhere, doing it all! Spectators were much more than expected and added to the excitement of the whole event! S/SS was the main attraction so I guess we are marketable after all. Contingency sponsors stepped up and participated and offered great incentives (without 3-5 yr.limits on product) Which is total BS in my opinion. One of the best run, most fun events I have been to in recent years.
