Thread: The Heat

I have been to a few live races and the one thing that bothered me was the heat. Years ago when I went with my dad to Daytona we were in the infield and had an RV which wasn't as bad. What do you do to combat the heat?

Drink lots of water, put on plenty of sunscreen, and wear a hat! My husband and I both burn really easily so we really have to be careful or we'll be miserable all weekend!

Stay dehydrated and that usually means water. You also want to use sunscreen. Wearing a hat would help, too, in protecting your body.

We always drink lots of water when we go. If we are watching around the house it's not unusual for us to have a few beers but if you drink alcohol in the heat it will just dehdyrate you more.

Thankfully I don't burn easily but I still make sure I have plenty of water and sunscreen. I wear a hat to protect my head and also sunglasses to protect my eyes from the glaring sun.

I love the heat, not a problem for me, a number of years ago I was in Tucson on business, but on an off day went to the Pima Air Museum in the desert, great place, I spent most of the day there and when I left and got into my rental car and turned on the A/C, I realized how dry I was, so stopped at a gas station to get a few of Mr Miller's finest, I think the third beer eventually made it to my stomach before evaporating (I waited to get back to the hotel before indulging, don't get any ideas ). I've been to Phoenix a couple of time since and love the desert heat, even in the summer. I'd retire to Arizona in a heart beat, but my kids and grandkids mean a lot to me and they all are close by, so I guess I'm stuck in the Great White North for the foreseeable future

yes you are right

I am going to have to go to somewhere like Arizona and see what dry heat feels like one of these days. I live in Georgia so our heat is always accompanied by a ton of humidity. I can't really imagine a dry heat!

yes me too..........
