He's talking about temps in the low 90's with 80% humidity.

sverble, when you do come to BG, let me know. It would make for an interesting evening with a few of us LC2 guys out there amongst the locals. I've been talking to John Bruce, and we're both awaiting cooler temps also. By the way, he is pretty stoked, a few weeks ago he ran an 11.84 with his hot air car.

Hopefully cooler temps are around the corner.
