I want to make sure that everyone is aware that this weekend is looking like it will be a very hot weekend. Temperatures are expected to be in the very high 90's and possibly getting to 104 to 105 degrees F. We will be on asphalt all weekend long.
As a club we have made an effort in the past to provide waters to our participants as a service. Obviously we don't want anyone feeling dehydrated and pushing a vehicle to its limits of adhesion while we are all standing around, so this is as much for you as it is for the rest of us. However, we can only do so much. We are generally buying upwards of 10 cases of water for a weekend, this is a cost we are willing to pay, but I feel like we will be going through our normal supply very quickly.
As a general statement I would like to ask that all those planning to come out this weekend look to hydrate a few days in advance. Start drinking water Thursday and continue to do so throughout the weekend. With a little planning you can keep your body at peak condition and not have to rely on trying to "catch up" to the heat on Sat and Sun. By that time, you are really just fighting a losing battle.
Be sure to bring your own water, and shade, and whatever else you feel that you need to keep cool. It is your responsibility to take care of yourself, and we will do all we can to provide waters for those that are there and needing it. But don't count on us to provide all your waters and cooling needs for you.
Thanks so much.
