Fontana Private Track Rental

[Jeff Rand]

We better start bringing man diapers for Jeff here on out, that man is out of control.

Ray,
I was already wearing them (notice the baggy pants in the picture). That's why I was so happy to get that box of Lou's tissues from Mike. I almost used the whole box for the clean up after the wheel stand.

Mike nice shot of the rear bumper. I have the air bag valves on either side of those scratches and they are packed with rubber from the track. I need to get some valve caps before I go out again.

I have some wheelie bars if you want to try them Jeff. I no longer need them.

Looks like everyone had a good time sorry I wasn't there, Plus I'm not a good spectator. Makes me think about my race cars & not having one now. Were I to get one I couldn't work for anyone else & would become consumed plus I'm a poor loser. Ask anyone who knew me when I was racing especially when I had the TT V/6 car I was always pissed off if the car didn't run faster each time out & not a lot of fun to be around.

mike, Congrats.

jeff, make sure you keep the nose down eh.

Everyone else congrats on a good day

Looks like everyone had a great time. Sorry i wasnt able to make it. I will start joining you guys as soon as i get my car out here

Brent,
Thanks for all your help over the last few weeks. I really appreciate you driving down last weekend to help tune my car, for most of the day. Cant wait to see that bad @$$ hot air car of yours at the beach.

I especially need to give a big thanks to "THE NAME THAT SHALL NOT BE SPOKEN". If he was half as good at social interaction, as he is at computers, he'd have Gary's job. Thanks for all the hours. Now, get that "T" to the track and let's see what it's capable of.

Wicked hangin the hoop.

[Gary Wells]

Yep, Shane, Jay C., & Brett already told me that they're voting for him.

I was hoping "THE NAME THAT SHALL NOT BE SPOKEN" (ha! I was hoping that would stick) would run that wicked new TB.

I'm gonna have my GN ready for LA Invasion so he better be there and ready to race or I'm calling it a win :biggrin:

I've got video of some runs that I'll try and get posted up tonight or tomorrow.

Nice vid's.

There might have been a guy at the track that has a pic of it. I'll call him tomorrow. If he does, I may have a new avatar.

WOW!!! Congratulations guys on your new personal best times. Thanks for posting the pictures and videos. You guys have some looking and fast running cars. I wish I could have joined you. Next time for sure.

Jeff...that wheelie looked similar to the one you did at the WCN last Nov. At least this time you were able to keep racing. Still looking forward to seeing that 8-sec run.

Hmmm?

How many runs did you guys get in?

 

[cruzn57]

runs??

I watched a corvette make run after run for over an hour!
maybe 20 or so!!!!!!!!
there were times there was NO ONE in the staging lanes!

I'd estimate you could have made 20-30 if you wanted!

come on Donnie, I can mix up the fuel cans!!!! LOL

 

[Jeff Rand]

Donnie,
I was suiting up in the pits because there was usually no one in line. Most of the time they sent me out as a single. Also the tech was a joke. However she did check my license.
Jeff

 

[my1stgn]

The only time I saw a line was when they prepped the track. Mary made 5 passes at the end in about 35 minutes. I counted 5 other cars making passes while she was driving. I didn't even know there was a tech! LoL. The lady said "what do you think you'll run?" I said "12's maybe" she said "go to the tower to get your wristband"

Yeah she asked me the same thing and I told her high 11s, LOL.

I didnt realize it til later that night none of us got booted for not having roll bars!
