Well, compared to the eternal damnation of living in Kansas for 15 years (I still don't know why I didn't leave sooner), it's still better here. In July and August in KS, it gets EVEN HOTTER than it does here. Ever tried autocrossing in 107 degree weather with a constant 35mph wind sand-blasting you and blowing over your cones?

Moving cones does add an interesting element to the sport, however.
