A roof? My Atom doesn't even have a windshield... Last event in November was quite cool,but once you are out there...you forget all about hot and cold,and most everything else that is not important to car control. At least I do.. :wink:

I did pick up a heavier one piece fire suit for spring/fall weather.

"one female club member stripped down to her leopard-print undies and dove into the pond to attach a tow strap to a car that had ended up there." Well, that is EXACTLY the type of behavior that drew me to COM, duh!

Alex, ya there is an M in there.

Everyone, thanks for the help. See ya in April.

Seriously, I'll bring lots of layers given it's April, but having raced a bike in the spring, I know it gets a bit chilly at 100mph. Does anyone else out there run an open-top? Any feedback other than my face is freezing?
Gloves. When drivng a formula car with no windshield and a helmet with face mask it is the hands that freeze solid. I put in a two inch windshield just to shield the hands from cold and rocks.

Small world. I was in Las Vegas this week myself. Weather was perfect, it was hard to leave.

Ted,

I'm going to convince Niall to take your old Silver WRX out with COM.
