If anyone's interested, I'll be going to the Fontana California Speedway Saturday, January 24th. I want to see if I can improve on my 14.4 quarter mile time.

It's only my second time there, but I think it'd be fun to have a bunch of Z brothers (and hopefully sisters) show up. Last time I went, there were 300+ cars including 50+ mitsu's, dozens of soobs, bimmers, a bunch of American muscle cars, etc. but only three Zs. Still, it was fun.

If you decide to come, keep in mind that this is pretty much an all-day event so you'll need to bring rations. For the driver, long pants are mandatory as is a helmet if the inspector determines your vehicle to be under 14 seconds (or if you tell him so). You have to get there at noon or earlier. Actual racing starts at 4 and goes on till late night.

 

Sounds like fun. I aint got nothing going on. I think I'm going. I'll be fun, never dragged my Z before.

 

ok ill be there...

 

I'm down, how are the track conditions?

How far is fontana from long beach?

 

Clean, but clean is a relative term. It wouldn't hurt to cover the mud guards and inside lip of the fenders with masking tape as there might be pebbles. I would also put a bra on the fornt if I was really worried about the car in front kicking up rocks and stuff duirng burnout. I put on clear bra today so I'm covered and I have the Colgan left over, so if you want to use it, you're welcomed.

With weekend traffic, about an hour

 

lets do it.. im 100% for sure.. when do you guys wanna go?

 

Don't forget after doing your 1/4 mile runs, c'mon down to the Clubbin meet in OC!

 

oops sorry.. jan.24th.. sounds good..

i'm still in.. we should plan a time to meet up and stuff so we can pit together.

 

I'm in!!

 

24th? I'm in

 

So what's the final word? Are we meeting up anywhere? Also, how much is it going to cost?

 

Cost is $20 per car ($10 if you're only spectating). If folks want to meet somewhere in OC (e.g. South Coast Plaza?) and caravan from here, I'm all for it. I'll get some hazard cones to section off an area in the parking space just for us. It does get pretty packed there.

FYI, the place is pretty barren in terms of amenities and there is a good 2-hour wait for the tech inspection, so bring at a minimum drinks (food, if you don't care for the $5 cheese dogs) suntan lotion and optionally folding chairs and stuff. The earlier we get there, the less the wait for the inspection.

PS: I'll be running 22 PSI on the rears, so I'll being a small air pump to reinflate in case anyone else in interested. Also if you want low numbers, I suggest lightening your car (safely) as much as possible - take out carpets and the junk from your rear compartment. Leave the spare and the jack in. You can take it out over there and put it in a large bag or something.

 

One emore thing: Let's get a sign up sheet going so I'll know how many spaces to cone off. I'll try to get there early so I can pick a spot.

I'm in..

what time do you want to meet? i live near CSULB.

 

I would like to leave here by 10:30

 

For those who are coming, we're going to meet at South Coast Plaza near Maggiano's at 10:15 this Saturday and we'll head out to Fontana from there at 10:30.

You're also welcome to meet us there, but either PM me or post here that you're coming so I can reserve a spot in the pit area.

Hope to see some FI's this time and may the G-force be with us.

 

Also if someone could bring a vidcam (with download capability) and shoot the runs, it would be great.

 

i wanna go still

 

Awwe man. If someone goes to this AND the Angeles Crest run AND the club meet the same day, it should be a record or some kind...he he.

 

How did you guys do at the track today?
