The first drags were hot and fun. We can make a day of it. We might want to think about stocking some water and maybe a cool down motorhome. I was able to borrow a motorhome the first year but it is no longer available. I might be able to come up with another one if we think it is the thing to do.

I know it's all "tough" and whatnot to wear black, but it's really wise to dress in white in these kinda conditions... just my 2cents... if ya got a cool white T, wear the sumbitch... girls, I would just strip to the waste and call it good.

08-11-2007, 10:56 AM
Why does everyone bitch about how hot it's going to be...??? You're only there for three days MAX...suck it up...

If I was afraid of 103 degree heat and 90% humidity, I'd stay home...and I don't have A/C in my old Stude for the 13 hour trip from here to there either...wussies...!

The humidity has been tolerable in the upper 30 to 40% range, so not AS bad. Yes it is summertime ya know...

Does Carl have a water spicket we can hook up to? We can build an industrial size slip-n-slide.... Or get a stock tank and fill it with icewater LMAO.

Hey Worm, where are you from?
I'm from Mcalester, home of the prison and the army amunition plant. Maybee in a few years everyone will say "McAlester well thats where that good timin worm fella is from." Haven't meet any southeastern Oklahoma hambers yet but would like to soon! Maybee some of them will come out for the hamb drags and we can all meet up at the feed fridaynight.

W#orm, I am very familiar with McAlester. I drive through there every Thanksgiving on my way to Smithville. I always wanted to buy the hotel and live in it. That thing is bad.

Yeah, we're going into our 6th week of no rain. Hopefully we'll get some between now and the drags, those weathermen can't predict that far ahead. And Ryan, thank you much for getting us in at the track early!

Its gunna be hot?????????? Man what a relief. Someone told me there was going to be a huge snow (thats white stuff that falls out of the sky for all you southern guys,) storm in MO the week of the drags....:eek: Here I waisted all that time trying to figuring out a way to hang the snow plow on the front of the coupe and just wasn't getting the job done. Now I can just change the oil and load up the trunk with a good cooler with cold stuff inside and not wonder how I was going to keep warm. :p :D

Ok back to reality, its August, its suppose to be hot. The hotel has air conditioning, if (when?) we need some. Gene

101, shit! I was out putting the trans back in my truck at 114!!

That was the official temp at the airport. I was out in the driveway, no shade!

101 is going to be like a cool spell. Looking forward to it.

Roothawg
08-19-2007, 10:41 AM
Yeah we got 8 inches of rain last night. Hopefully it will get out of the area before Friday.
