i wish we have a member here who lives in Fontana that can take a peek for us if it's open or not... BTW, how much you score for the jacket? and is it the one that they're asking for?

I was there at 5:45 AM, after staying up all night and YES it was cancelled.
Me and OCG35 waited till 7AM and no one showed up so we all headed back home.

Bastards!!!!! It was a PERFECT day for racing! 50 degrees and NO RAIN in sight.

A bunch of people were going to the Nissan performance event. Apparently they didn’t cancel the Roval - I don’t know why they cancelled the drag strip - phucking A-Holes!

I guess I should have looked here when I got up... I looked at the weather websites and off to the track.

20lbs of meet, 17lbs of macaroni and potato salad, and coleslaw, 12 huge muffins, 2 dozen cookies a table - ALL For Nothing!

Next rack day is Jan 5th... I hope the temps are as low as today... Maybe we can try the BBQ thing again but I'm not gonna even attempt it if there is rain anywhere near 1/5/08.

It would have been a perfect day for racing... I don’t know why they cancelled.

Oh well, Brownie Point to me, Tim, Vlad, Terry, and Terry’s son for showing up… I guess we’re lucky the track was closed – Terry’s son was ready to embarrass some G’s and a Corvette with his Kia!!!

This really sucks. We have to do the BBQ next time though...like Mike said, if rain isn't in sight. We can't let this get in our way of a mouth-watering BBQ at a drag strip

I ordered this jacket. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

Pretty sure that sfi rating is enough, single layer fire jacket.

Would've been a great day.

don’t feel bad about not sleeping... Vlad (Klubheads) didn’t sleep last night and he showed up!!! He was playing poker all night.

I'm not too disappointed now - I just got off FullTilt and made $517 in 3 hours. I guess it was a good thing the track was closed

Edit - I just looked at the time of my last post... I guess it was less than 3 hrs

I'll buy it! Seriously... I never drive my car - but I need to determine some thing from my Osiris tune. I will find isolated places on weekends to fiddle around... if you want to sell it, let me know.

It evaporates pretty quickly - unless you have an airtight seal you'll lose some by the time the next rack day comes (Jan 5th)... I'm going back to Shawn to figure some things out and might need race gas if he re-tunes... let me know.

Would have been a perfect day. I mean PERFECT!!!! It's doubtful we will see a dry day with these temps all day again. Especially on the rare track day.

Good news is as long as you don’t gain a bunch of weight the jacket will be ready for you next time

Bad news (for me) is we didn’t get to talk about the "bribe" for 03-04 bumper

I'm writing my "Dear Santa" letter next...
