Not that any of us are really going to enjoy the heat but if you do not take advantage and support the promoters that stick their necks out to put on events, than the venues will not be there in the future for us. Just something to consider.
Great people to be around and still fun no matter what.
Hope to see you there.

Oh im still going to go, i just dont think i'll be racing. I've raced many times in Fontana in the summer, and its not much fun sitting in a hot car wearing a jacket and helmet waiting for a run.

Hmmm... judging by my current financial standing, I'm not sure if I will be racing or just spectating... $50 is quite a bit of recycled bottles right now... but I'm definitely going to be there.

Of course, this means that if I'm not racing, maybe I'll actually get to walk around the swap meet for once... Grin

It sound like the gate out on Cherry will open at 6:00 to allow us to line up
in the parking lot.

The interior gate into the drag strip will open at 7:00

If that info is correct.  Huh
