Heat takes toll on drivers at Pocono 500 (AP)

sr_news · June 8th, 2008, 10:06 PM

Denny Hamlin spoke slowly and looked pale. An exhausted AJ Allmendinger gulped down fluids at his trailer. Brian Vickers cooled off in the air-conditioned media center, but was still sweating profusely before heading back outside.

Shut up and drive

I can't imagine how it felt in those cars...I did gain a new found respect for Nascar drivers at a recent bachelor party. The afternoon started with racing at a local indoor cart racing track...really nice carts that hit maximum speeds between 45-50 MPH with stiff steering and slick tires couple with tons of hard turns...it was quite work out for all guys there, much more than expected and fuck those stupid helmets get mad hot.

It was F'ing hot and humid this weekend. I can't imagine how hot it was in those cars with all that gear on. Had to be brutal.

True, but I would trade places with them any day.

BtownBeers · June 9th, 2008, 09:45 AM

Oh yeah no question Rusty.

If Mike would out bid Sprint and change it to the Rant Cup Series we could actually do it.

BtownBeers · June 9th, 2008, 09:51 AM

We'd all die in the first turn I think.

Rusty27 · June 9th, 2008, 09:55 AM

Yeah,maybe we should settle for Mike building us a go cart track first.

Good starting point I think.
