As I stepped out of the car, I noticed a strange melting sensation taking over my body… It was already BLISTERING HOT! Luckily I had an umbrella for shade and plenty of Gatorade! The first thing I noticed was the laid back vibe. Several drivers were in Las Vegas for FD. That opened up some slots for other drivers, and gave us time for contests and shade!
