Topic: Yikes! where to get cool short and cooler for willows this weekend.

We are driving to Willows now and decided to check the temp for this weekend's race - 41!

anyone know where we may be able to get a cool shirt(s) and cooler in Redding or near the track?

perhaps we will have to go with a ziplock bag of ice in our pants.

call ahead to the track. They would likely have some there priced at a premium. Make sure you get all of the ice you can from the local walmart asap before everyone else gets it

You can also just wet down the driver prior to getting into the car. That's good enough for an hour stint usually.

If you get caught in a jam, beer cooler (preferably one that latches), small pump and plenty of tubing and make a seat cooler.  Bolt it through the floor and silicon any penetrations.  It's janky looking, but ours has served us well and passed tech for about 5 years now.

I take quart bags fill them with enough water so when they lay flat they are about 1/2" thick. Then I freeze them. after you get harnessed in slide it in your suit. They help a lot.
