I know Dallas and Houston are separated by roughly 240 miles but does anyone remember the 1984 Dallas Grand Prix? It was held on July 8, in temperatures over 100 °(38 °C) with the track breaking up and Nigel Mansell collapsing after pushing his Lotus over the start/finish line because he ran out of fuel.

Houston in August will be much worse.

The US Grand Prix is held in November, precisely because of the heat in summer. It does beggar belief, where people get some of their ideas from in IndyCar.
