View Full Version : Heat Damage? Ben 03-22-2000, 09:41 PM <html>I left my Carlton 800HT in the back of my car for long periods, and the sun often heated my whole car up and cause everything inside to get really hot. I used my racket on Mon, and left it in my car till Wed. Wed i open the case and the bottom half of my racket has like collasped. i just wondered if the heat could have cause this?, or i'm just not remembering if something more serious happened to it. </html> John 03-25-2000, 10:28 PM <html>: I left my Carlton 800HT in the back of my car for long periods, and the sun often heated my whole car up and cause everything inside to get really hot.
