Default fan to cool me off

bixblk,
Something you might also want to consider. I use a cushion that my wife bought off QVC. It's got some type of chemical in it, your body heat activates it. Between rounds I put it into my ice box, it must stay under 70* to work. Sometimes I put it behind my back, sometimes I sit on it. It works in South Georgia's summer time heat very well. I bracket race a s-10, we all know how hot those enclosed cars can get. dgh

Those are 'leg boards' and serve 2 purposes.
1- gives you something to rest your legs against on long straightaways and to hold you in place on hard corners.
2 - In a violent barrel roll, if you are not contained in a 'pod' your legs can end up in places that might be embarrassing and painful !
