Had WAY more traction than I expected to since the tire warmers were set to 170 and never broke 125 all day, even with the side walls installed on the EZ-ups and a torpedo heater keeping it warm inside.

Had so much fun that day I'm already looking forward to Barber in February. Average temp there is 50 during the day, but I'll try to deal with the heat.

I'm not sure. I'm sure it will be typical a January day.

We were bitching about the front we are dealing with now. It's been below 40(windchill) the last two days. Not normal round here.

My biggest gripe with the cold is grip. As long as the tires bite, my body will warm up, eventually.

What warmers are you using spendyMcspenderson?

Heard about that, I think Pops is moving to Cuba to warm up.

At RA I had better grip than I expected, even after the long back straight where I was afraid my tires may turn to ice right before the 10a and 10b 90 degree left/right turns.

I'm using Chicken Hawk digital pros, of course.
