Arizona Nationals weather

wouldn't AZ be a prime candidate for covered bleachers?
or at least some of them? you could charge more for them too.

You talking about like they did for Firebird Lake boat course? And that was done before the Dragstrip was built.

didn't know they had them. actually i noticed orlando speedworld has covered bleachers this year. saw them on the

The bleachers on the spectator side at Tulsa used to be covered.
I believe the frame work is still there but the sheet metal roof is not.

Covered bleachers have been on my wish list for a looong time. Too expensive, say the tracks.

never been to the races there but changed planes at airport once. walked outside to have a smoke and thought I was going to melt

When I moved from Ohio to Phoenix on my 1st day at my new job as a machinist it was a shop that on nice days they would have the garage doors open. So I'm working and thinking how nice the temperature was, guessing it was 75-79°. So I get home that evening and the news is saying WE SET a new record, it was high 80s. Yes it is a dry heat.
The spring and fall weather is the best in the world. Summer you just learn to work around it. And I never slipped into a ditch because the road had too much sun on it.
I'd still be there if not for family reasons.

First time I visited Phoenix was a 5 day Labor Day weekend. Was really surprised at the difference between there and the midwestern summer humidity. Phoenix was 110 with 18% humidity heat index 110, back home with it 95 and 75% you have a heat index of 128 degrees. You don't want to be out in the Phoenix sun but in the shade you don't even break a sweat. It's all about the humidity. Working in non air conditioned auto shops my whole life I'll take the desert southwest any day.
