[Fot] Weather at PVGP/Kastner Cup

[Bob Kramer]

What are you all talking about? It is going to be  101 here today and the humidity is 96% this morning. I’m coming to enjoy the cool weather? I have a cool suit and cooler for the Beandito Endurance car and I’m leaving it at home.

 

All kidding aside, it’s hot down here. Sunday I drove the car around the neighborhood to bed in new brake pads and generated 210 degrees on the temp gauge. It was 102 out and I have to go slow and quiet to avoid “Nextdoor” comments. It has me a little worried but I left it running in the shop for a while and it didn’t overheat. Temps in the 80’s are my friend!

 

I’m leaving later today and if all goes well the Texas car will be there mid day Thursday. Save me a nice spot!

 

Bob

A nice trick is to stuff ice cubes into a couple of quart size ZIP LOC bags, and place them under your driver’s suit, one on each side at waist level.

​My big concern is overheating both for my car and me.  The heat plus humidity will have you sweating just standing still.  Make sure to stay hydrated.

Looks like Friday is the only iffy day, but this has shifted from two days ago and may shift again.  

Overall looks pretty darned good - cooling off a bit too!

I just looked at the forecast for the end of the week for PIR and Pittsburg area.  They are indicating T-Storms mid week through Friday.  Looking decent for the weekend.  The Thursday and Friday test and practice days look wet.

 

What is the outlook for the weekend, given locale knowledge, of the East Coast weather at the track this coming weekend?

 

I had a message that Kas was on the road in Colorado.  I am flying in on Thursday.  Everyone have a safe drive.
