Don't let the heat of summer compromise Arc Flash safety & and some racing

Hey Man,

It was hot out here this weekend! While I was working on the garage at the folks house in the heat, I got a call. A rig was down in Louisiana and they needed some ABB relays. But they were not sure which ones.
Eventually they solved it without me driving over. That got me thinking about Arc Flash safety in the heat of Summer. We are the Houston STOCKING distributor for OEL Worldwide. http://www.oelsales.com/ So it is better to buy from us that online. Last summer when we started with this line one of my clients was looking for some new Nomex suites. He wanted safety with enough comfort that his crew would wear them. The new OEL suites we have are made in America from a new DuPont fabric lighter than Nomex. Having worn a black Nomex suite back in my racing days in the SW, I can understand the importance of comfort. check out the link.
There was some fun racing this weekend.
I got up really to watch the HHungarian F1GP. No vampires, but it was fun. I was hoping to see Kimi win with that charge to the front, but it was not to be. The pit exit Kimi make to keep ahead of his teammate Romain Grosjean. The 32-year-old Raikkonen is still a hoot to watch.
Hamilton won and Fernando finished ahead of Webber to maintin his point lead. I would really like to see Webber take the championship this season. I would also really like to see Kimi Raikkonen return to victory lane at classic venue.

NASCAR brought us the Brickyard 400. Don't let the empty seats in the stands fool you. They still had close to 100,000 people there. The place is just so big. Today "5 time" a.k.a. Jimmie Johnson got his 4th win at The Speedway. J.J. is amazing. Had it not been for the Indy/Champcar split, he would of gone on to win in a unified Indy Car series. J.J. is smooth, to understand him, think of Rick Mears. J.J. is not "too corperate" he is a laid back SoCal off road racer that went open wheel and then NASCAR.
To "get" Tony Stewart, think A.J. Foyt.

cheers
