And before you go flaming, which most of you will, I'm racing this weekend in this hot, soupy stuff. I might wear the two-layer suit instead of the four, and I will no doubt ingest and excrete more fluids, but I'll be there.

Gas City and Bloomington are both well-run places and have good people at the helm, it's just disappointing and not a decision I agree with or support. Sign of the times, I guess.

I work outside in the heat, and I'm sure a lot of folks on here do too. So forgive me for taking umbrage at the notion that we're "coddled" for not wanting to sit in 100 degree heat to see a regular race.
