Even a little brain-freeze couldn't hold back the  LSX Shootout...

Tough enough? Try braving some wind chill, some rain and certainly cold weather in Memphis this weekend at the LSX Shootout. I finally made it up top to the Media center in the timing tower to escape the frigid air. Four hours at the starting line trying to snap off some images almost left me literally snapping my fingers off from frostbite. It's no HIGH-RES image,  but in the return lane, you can see the line of LSX cars parked and ready to race. For what seemed like the stars aligning for the worst oil-downs in drag race history, the track was pretty much useless after each run.

I have to give it up to the guys in the LSX category though. They stood there braving the cold air. They wanted to race--badly. Luckily for them though most were dressed in their fire suits. A quick download of the weather on my iPhone was showing the areas temperature was dropping to below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The later the night got, the colder it became.

What would you rather have? Frosty conditions for racing or oven-like heat waves to race in? Let me know!
