It's been two years since I saw the setup. I was down in Indianapolis for the US Drag Nats in early Sept when it is both dry and HOT. The first row of bleachers offer no shade or cool breezes, except for the NITRO Fueled Dragsters launching during the burnouts and race starts. Surviving means having a cooler at your side with ice and wet towels around your neck. Those using wheelchairs have front row priviliges as they are parked side by side at the starting line. If you move... you are lucky to find a spot when you return as the place is that crowded. The guy had a 3 gallon lawn sprayer with an extended hose with a mister. He used a 24 volt dc selenoid made by Parker or ANCO and a palm button switch. At the track it is most difficult to talk over the noise from the racers and the MC as racing begins early and goes into the night. US Nats, is a week long event and ends on Sunday Night when the finals are held. That year John Force lost early and chose to sit with us in the second row behind the chairs and sign autographs and pose for pictures. That is the best I can offer you.

A guy I knew made an electric mister system on his chair he could use by hitting a toggle switch. Very cool system. I have a small one you pump up and the spray last for maybe 10 ten second sprays. But I can't do it myself very well. Greg > Anybody here ever used any of the MistyMate products? > > > Larry
