We keep it really simple - 90 minute shifts in warmer weather, and drink up before you get in (with water and/or Powerade). 

We'll add Camelbaks if we ever run a mid-summer race.

You underestimate the brain fog clearing power of a nice sip of cool water in the middle of a stint.

Loose items and choking hazards are against the rules? Next y'all are gonna say I shouldn't be mixing instant coffee on the back straight.

Wow, all we do is stuff a bottle of water next to us into the seat.  During yellow flag, stuff the bottle under the helmet, extend lips over the opening and squeeze.

Technically, that's against the rules (3.F.8).  You're not supposed to have any loose items in the cockpit.

bs

Fortunately, when it's wedged between my hip and the seat, it's not very loose.

We use the Longacre system too, but we switched out the bite valve for the nice 90 degree Camelback. Works great and At least for ME I drain it every stint.

I have to moma hen all my other drivers who come in half dehydrated with a mostly full drink bottle.

I can never find the damn hose.....I will velcro it to my wrist next season
