#1085, "SoCal Meet - California Speedway - Sat. Feb. 16 - Race your car..."
Hey all, most people I talked to already said that February 16 is a good day, so let's set up a 2gnt SoCal meet for Saturday, February 16, at California Speedway in Fontana. You can run your car for fun (most of us will) or just go to watch. It's $20 to race your car the whole day (we got about 7-8 runs in last time). It's $10 just to watch. Find out what times you run before you do more mods, and you can beat a bunch of civics too (except for me and my 17 sec times hehe).
Let's meet at 6:30 am at the Jack in the Box which is about a mile away from California Speedway:
Jack in the Box 10048 Cherry Ave Fontana, CA 92335
To get to the Jack in the Box, after you exit the 10 freeway at Cherry Ave, you head North, and once you pass Valley Blvd, the Jack in the Box will be to your left. I suggest checking directions at http://www.mapquest.com. For info on California Speedway, go to http://www.californiaspeedway.com.
The address of California Speedway is: 9300 CHERRY AVENUE FONTANA CA 92335
**Please try to be at the Jack in the Box by 6:30 so we can all head out on time - I'll try to be there before 6:30 to get some food to eat. We need to get in tech inspection early so that we can get a good spot in the pits. Some people go there as early as 3 am. Post here so we can get a list of who is going...hope you all can make it...btw, racing goes until about 5 pm, but we all left around 3 pm last time since we got tired and already got a lot of runs. That weekend is also a president's holiday weekend, so relax and come out and race.

Alright, second time around racing at the track! I was wondering when it was gonna be so I could already ask for the day off. I wonder if my times will improve or worsen, since I got an UDP but also put in heavier 17's. Hopefully my new super duper mod will make up for it. (2GNT Sticker ) Good thing I didn't go to HIN. At least I could use that money for the track. O shit, that means I'll have to buy new tires already then huh? 500 bucks down the drain. Will any of u guys bring a tire inflater? I wanted to deflate my tires to the recommended pressure for drag racing. Alright, that's it. Hope to meet u guys there. This would definitely be a good stress remover, with all the stress I'm experiencing right now..

Cool, that's already four of us. Come on everyone, just run at the track for fun, even if you're slow like me hehe...
BTW, any one have needle nose pliers they can bring? Maybe we can install the blue HVAC LED's for those of us ordering from HondaHater21. It will kill some time in between racing...
Oh and Sonicyan, you can just deflate the front to about 20 to 25 lbs, and reinflate them at the nearest gas station...there's one right by the Jack in the Box.

hehe, don't you like us socal people better anyways? jk...well at least at our meet, you get to race your car legally in the quarter mile. But then you'd probably have to head down the night before since we gotta meet up at 6:30 in the morn.
Clay, try to make it and just save up 20 bucks. It's not that much, considering that you will probably only race your car once every year, or some people never even run it. It's an adrenaline rush and fun experience, and gives you more of a rush than street racing...

Ya know, I'd definetely be there but only one problem.. I live in CO, not CA lol. We dont have meets up here very often, and when we do its all the turbo guys, our local DSM group here has a grand total of 3 NTs. ANyway have fun you all... wish I could be there.

I'll be there. First time racing since I went turbo... can't wait!!
Anyone know if California Speedway requires a Helmet, fire extinguisher, or oil catch plate?
Also, isn't this a NASCAR track, which is an oval? Do they have a 1/4 mile or road race track there too or do they just run 1/4's on the oval straightaway?
