i've already got a hotel room

Probably not a good idea to let anyone know where it is....  you could end up with 'visitors' during the night!

the Ramada is 60 + tax per night

This is going from bad to worse....

Forecast I just checked shows an overnight low for Friday of 35!

Might be time for some -

so how do tires stick when it's that cold? never ran below upper 40's i don't think.

Let's just say that for at least the 1st round of practice on Saturday morning Rob will probably be busy with the crashtruck!

Talk to people who were at Road America in April a couple of years ago.  Bike after bike lost it on the the hard right turn coming out of Pit Out .  Going about 10 mph they might as well have been on ICE!

Oh yeah...  maybe they were on ICE!!

An issue when it's really cold is your suspension fluid is cold and won't flow well till it warms up, what this results in is suspension that moves slowly and can cause loss of traction because your tires are not able to follow the road surface like they would when the suspension is warm.

Another issue is if you use tire warmers, you go out on your 1st couple laps thinking you have good grip from warm tires and then lose it a few laps in because your tires actually cooled down.

Both of those things have been issues at the cold events I've been to over the years.

That just reminds of disturbing photos of K3 sleeping with random racers.

the year after wasnt much warmer... i remember going past the tower wondering if it was really snowing as I watched the speedo creep over 150...

Pilot powers seemed to hook pretty good... race rubber was tearing up pretty quick. 

And i still say it was the cold weather that forced me past my pit in the TC...
