I've gotta finish painting and finishing off my interior but it's too damn hot in the garage. Maybe I should wear my cool shirt.

Interesting! So we can test it out in our grand finale in late Oct.

Thanks

sounds pretty bad. RA was like this, but there were places to hide.

I have a world of respect for the guys runing at all the "Willow" tracks in California! Willow Springs (no place to hide), Buttonwillow, flat as a pancake (also no place to hide) and Thunderhill (in the town of Willows) however, at least Thunderhill has trees and hills.

Upper 90's w/ humidity to match and very little shade. That's the reason I bought an AC unit for my trailer. Now I have lots of friends !!

Thank Kim for putting that jewel together! Was too busy taking this and that and everything else out to make the rounds. Garage wasn't cool, but it was shade.....

Don't blame you at all for using Dito's rig as a hangout!

I was mostly kidding. I've spent a lot of time in Richmond and I've been to VIR a few times in the summer so I know it's hot in VA this time of year. I also spent most of a summer in DC and it was as oppressive there as almost anywhere I've been but once summer hits down here it doesn't stop until about November,

at least you guys get a break from time to time. I still can't figure out why all the old folks come down here, ten years ago I was living on the equator and it didn't bother me as much as it does now.

I did go out and work on the car for a while though. I want it ready by the beginning of September and I'm heading to Maine for most of August
