I was thinking of putting some dry ice in a gym bag or something, and laying it on between runs.
Does anybody do that?

If you do not want to get Racing Cooler.. I prefer plain ol ICE in a bag.. its good for 2 runs it leaks, but you can get it for $2 a bag at E Town

What about that C02 injection?
It looks like a Nitrous bottle, you hit the button and it injects the C02 wherever you want to put it. I forget who makes it.

I don't even open my hood between runs. My car seems to run faster as she heats up!
At a rental last year (2003) I made hot laps 4 at a time & each set my best run was the 3rd or 4th run.

They dont leak & you can leave then on during the run.. They Racing Cooler have helped me keep my running temp to 160-165 run after run..
