Live From Fontana LODRS and Sportsnationals

Bob Gullett · 05-19-2015, 06:38 PM

Well almost live. Not at track yet but will be there in the morning. Pitting starts tomorrow at 3pm according to the flyer. Sitting at Peggy Sues Diner in Yarmo CA. About 80 miles from track. Plan on having a good dinner tonite and relax. I'll try my best to post pictures from the races these next two weekends and if DRC isn't doing the qualifying as it happens I will post results. More tomorrow.

Urban assault vehicle! LOL.

So was Peggy Sue's everything you thought it would be? We ate there once a few years ago just to say we had.
Any one know what Friday spectator ticket costs?

Bob Gullett · 05-19-2015, 09:37 PM

Just finished. Food and service was great. I think it's $20 spectator fee.

Bob would you ask if the front gate will be open all night Thursday? Thanks a bunch!

Bob Gullett · 05-20-2015, 12:21 PM

Woohoo. Made it to the track. 4th in line. About 8 rigs here so far. According to the track they're opening the gate by the railway tracks at 2 and pitting starts at 3. Long day of waiting. But that's OK. I'll try my best to find out about the gate Daran. You're best bet might be to phone the track 909-429-5060.

Good luck to you and Charlene for these 2 races. I am not sure who else will be there from the Northwest, but should be several. Hope the weather is great and the track is fast for all those who attend. I plan to be at Pacific on the 30th for the combo race. I don't have a car, but help anyway I can and totally enjoy each event. Like I said, good luck and hope to see you guys at the Divisional at Pacific later this year.

We're in and pitted. Pits are fairly sparse so good spots are available. We're pitted by Chuck and Linda Stubeck. As per usual its a little windy tonite but that's OK. No racing until tomorrow as they run the test and tune. I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them. Time for a wobbly pop and to cook dinner.

Bob Gullett · 05-21-2015, 02:14 PM

Test and tune here in Fontana. Should be starting shortly. Just checked the weather station. 63.5T 51%H 28.70BP 2002DA. Winds calm as of now. Doing normal maintenance to cars and then into the trailers. I'll try to get some pictures today and post them.

Bob Gullett · 05-21-2015, 06:19 PM

Not much happening. A few cars testing but not many. Managed to take a few pictures.
