    Looks to be pretty good. Yeah there is a chance of thunderstorms, but hey, it's summer in the midwest.

    Every SDAC I've been to has been at least 100 degrees on the drag race day. That means next Tuesday, Detroit is almost guaranteed to see record high temps.

    I don't remember which was worse Cincy or Pittsburgh; they were both unbearably hot at the track.

    Topeka cooled down a bit for the drag day (I think into the 80's or low 90's), but when we pulled into town on that Saturday it was 116 deg outside, first time I've seen the temp not go below 100 overnight.

    Cincy had some trees to hide under at the track. All Pitt had was that pavillion area on the far side. So as far as those 2 I have to say Pitt was worse as far as the heat goes.

    Cecil is right up there and I didn't make it to Topeka.

    The local forecast here is calling for partly cloudy 80* high on both Monday & Tuesday. IIRC, Chicago at SDAC-14 was cool for the drag day (compared to others).

    There is a 30% chance of scattered storms on both Sat & Sun, but the way they talk most areas will not see any rain.

    Amen to that. Atleast in Cincy I got to hang out under the trees. Last year in da 'Burgh, I was working in the pit, sweeping up water and tire chunks I had the greatest farmer's tan, ever, after that day

    At Topeka, I think at the car show, which was on our last day, we had a high temp of about 88 and we thought it was cool because it had been near 100 (or over) every other day. But it was windy every day there, had it not been for the wind it would have been stifling hot.

    Cecil was hot and calm. Detroit was hot in both 1997 and 2000 but 1997 was worse (98* ?).

    Nothing beats the heat I remember from Memphis. I like to refer to Memphis as "next door to hell hot".

    At least Cincy had trees to hide under in the shade! PRP had that tiny pavilion, but that was it. It felt like a desert in the burnout box!

    I think the difference was Topeka was dry windy hot.

    Memphis was fairly calm and had high humidity along with the heat.
