100?? What the hell, lol! Even Miami, Fla was near freezing today. Here in NC we never got over 25 this afternoon, which is VERY unusual for us, but 100 in Feb is crazy. Tomorrow morning is supposed to be single digits with a wind chill of -10 or so.

Yep -25 here last night. But I'll live with the cold winter as long as I have the best place on earth to race in the spring and fall.

I agree, this weather is nuts. It was 52 here two days ago. This time last year it was -30 or so. And yes that's cold. Nearest track to me is Edmonton which is like 2.5 hrs.

Seriously, if its at least 55-60 degree outside, they're getting in the water! We don't even look at the water unless its 90 degrees out. Who do you drive for? I drive a truck too (local).

Drive for a Canadian company called TransForce which owns Conway and many others. I haven't been into the US in about 2 years and stopped OTR in 2008. I just stay here and freeze in the winter. Summers are great especially at Stampede time.

Sorry everyone for turning this into weather and war stories. lol.
