I was just thinking, with the temperatures regularly in the upper 90's or so here lately in Nebraska, about some stories related to hot weather.
I recall some years ago during my racing days, we were in a 200 lap race on a 1/2 mile dirt track on a 100 degree afternoon. The pits were in the infield. There was also a pond in the infield. My driver didn't do it, but as soon as the checkered flag dropped a half dozen cars skipped the pits and went sailing out by the pond. The drivers bailed out and jumped into the pond, drivers suits and all.

The seats in the stands were stamped steel, and if you stood up during the race you'd be wise to lay your program on your seat. Otherwise you'd burn your butt when you sat back down. Smart people carried trigger bottles of water and sprayed each other down during the race.
