Trackday tomorrow

[azoomm]

Expected heat index of 105.

Lol Have fun and remember if its that hot outside then the track is hotter and your tires will get slick with that much heat. We dont want you wrecking your bike. Have fun suit up and be safe.

We had that at CMP last weekend. The temperature on my XT lap timer read 118 degrees in the 3pm session.

I think I'm still dehydrated.

Remind everyone to keep their head on out there and remind them the track loses traction in high heat! That saturday we had 3 ambulance rides and one life flight.

I've done track days in temps of 110+ in the shade a bunch of times

Drink water, stay in the shade, use any air conditioning liberally. If you've got it, use a mister kit (works great in the desert, not sure how well it would work in the humid south). I wear an underarmor shirt under my leathers and soak it in my cooler in between sessions. Makes a big difference. Drinking very cold water makes a big difference as well. Stock up on ice!!!

Luck...I'm supposed to be at the track tomorrow too (Road Atlanta!!!) but my tow vehicle blew up last night

I got a really big fan that blows like a hurricane for days like that

Tidbit to add: I hear Pedialyte is the best hydration there is. Gookinaid or other electrolyte replenishment powders from places like bike shops are good too. Start hydrating the day before, not the morning of.
