That looks like a great idea.... as long as the water is cool.

Not saying they were not available, didnt see them on TV....

The showers were there, Rupe, John Ayers Jr. put them up right behind the Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit, at the track entrance/exit. The docs also had a submersion tub of cold water there. And every flagger had a gallon jugs of water as well, and so did all of the infield medical units.

And hats off to Tom Baggett, who realized before anyone that Cameron McAdoo was having problems when he came off the track for the first moto. He grabbed a bunch of water from the nearby 1st Class Zone and helped get him cooled down right away before the medics got there.
