I layed under the ac for an hour in just shorts sweating. I think that's the worst I've ever been effected by heat. Once I got to where I could get a cold shower I felt way better. Drinking lots of ice water now.

Glad you are feeling better. T-Hill can be brutal when it's really hot and you don't realize how much work you are doing while driving. We encourage all DE drivers to drink water and pee between every session when it is hot. If you don't need to pee, you didn't get enough water. Getting your shirt wet and wearing those phase-change neck bandanas also helps control body temps. Personal safety first.
Yep, a Miata is a formidable track weapon in the hands of a skilled driver.
