The Dodge Mile-High Nationals are looking to be a tuners nightmare due to the weather forecast:
Friday's forecast calls for a 98F high temp, 15% humidity and mostly sunny
Saturday's forecast calls for a 80F high temp, 40% humidity, partly cloudy and a 40% chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms
Sunday's forecast is for a 78F high temp, 62% humidity, partly cloudy and a 50% chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms
I know Bandimere has a refrigeration system to cool the starting line area, but downtrack could get interesting - depending on how NHRA prepares the track. Friday qualifying could be interesting with a combination of altitude and a hot track surface.

Good going, Nick!
For this week's race:
TF Mike Salinas
FC Tim Wikerson
PS Allen Johnson - remember how dominant he was there? Good old days. Give me Bo Butner since AJ isn't running.
PSM Hector Jr.

Checking the current weather forecast for the upcoming NHRA Sonoma Nationals shows there shouldn't be any reason this race runs on schedule. There nothing but 100% sunshine forecast for all three race days with forecast high temps of 79F on Friday, 87F on Saturday and 86F on Sunday.
And good air shouldn't be a problem since the track elevation is only 177' above sea level.
