Topeka Weather
This is dangerous heat. NHRA needs to rethink the scheduling of this event.

Re: Topeka Weather
I clearly remember competing at the Summernationals in July at Englishtown when you could fry an egg on the hood of the race car.

Re: Topeka Weather
Might be the same Summernationals Frank. A friend Tom Davidson with his SS/D "Blue Angel II" Hemi Cuda staged the car and then the heat got to him. He popped the clutch but at idle and it kind of rolled and jerked to a stop. No Don Garlits but just one long ago memory.

Re: Topeka Weather
Looks about the same as the forecast for the double divisional just about every year.
This year was great; only Wednesday and Sunday were pretty hot. I'll be headed down tomorrow afternoon.

Re: Topeka Weather
It’s pretty normal weather for Topeka. Humidity is low and wind is always blowing so it doesn’t feel nearly as bad as it looks.
