Fontana dragway this Saturday Dec 2.

it's the monthly street war event, this time the weather is going to be around 73*, not 96* like last month..

Last that i know, Brent and I are going to run the GN's.. Wicked is MAYBE running, but we will see if he backs out..

post up if anyone else is thinking about stopping by or racing

play it safe so you can come out and play on a 1/4 track ...

new rear shocks will be in today, hopefully that will help the 60ft's.. rocker shafts and push rods all look OK, so i'm re-installing them tomorrow and should have the car up and running my night time..

with the temp and air they are calling for this weekend, i can see higher boost in my furture ..

IM THERE for sure i'll take the "fontana risk". I call it that because you never know if you'll even get in the place let alone get more then a few runs in alll day. But w/e school and house life suck so I'd love to be there! Anyone bringing food? or beer or drinks? Should we set something up? Fontana sure is a looong day.

I can buy a bunch of shi t to bring if everyone wants to make a list of shi t they want and then all chip in when I get there. I got a cooler if needed. Just a thought, or I can be the lunch whore and go get food for everyone if someone buys mine!

Still deciding one wheather or not to bring a camera. How many runs you guys think you'll have?
