Well, as Keith says the timing trailer is air conditiond and the cost of
entry is a good bottle of booze after the meet. Shade ain't enough to keep
one cool but it helps. Like William says, drink a lot of water,use #45 sun
screen on every part of the body even if the sun isn't direct, good sun
glasses, and a hat that breaths. Other then that, keeping cool is a piece of
cake.

at least every 30 minutes. I made sure that I went just before I finished
suiting up. I then drank a double amount before I crawled in the car. We
had a big golf umbrella to keep the sun off of cockpit. I will have a white
drivers area on my new car.
