EFI Drag Racing at Fontana

I want to invite the NorCal'ers to make the drive down to Fontana for some EFI-only drag racing! I tried to get it at Famoso so it would be closer to everyone, but Famoso never called me back after two months, so I gave up on them.

It would be easier for us to fly down, and add some spray to a rental car.

Re: EFI Drag Racing at Fontana

Are nitrous bottles considered "carry on"?

It would take a lot of convincing for the family to tag along. That's gonna be close to $1000(gas, hotel and security guard for Jolly since I don't have an enclosed trailer)for the racing alone.

What if I got the track to open on Friday and you can park your trailer inside the gates?

Also, the track has a local hotel they recommend that gives good rates. Its on their website. I dont know if they have security, though.

Re: EFI Drag Racing at Fontana

That sounds good. I thought I was exaggerating about spending a grand but I calculated again. Yes, it would cost me a grand since I know for sure my family would go to Universal Studios or Disneyland or Lego land. Possibly 2 of the 3 mentioned. We'll see. For now it's a plan.

Re: EFI Drag Racing at Fontana

I just took the fam to Disneyland & we rented a car, while I was there Budget off of Sepulveda & Century had about 10-12 new 2010 Camaros, even "SS's". So I might fly down , rent a car, race then fly home. I just got to figure out how to ship 3 No2 bottles down. I'd love to spray a new 2010 SS Camaro. I figure I can do a dry shot, run 1 soleniod to the fusebox, WOT switch & On switch & i'm done. Of course I'd take the rental companies no fault insurance. haha Just in case.
