If you drank a bottle of water, it fell out your feet. Now, we wear the heat like a badge of honor! The most amazing thing was seeing Redman bring the track around in that heat.

Really, in 12 years, only 2010 would've been really bad. There's a couple of years that we could've gotten through with some schedule adjustments. Historically, might have to deal with a stray shower once at some point during the weekend. Those are about as good of odds as you could ask for.
