    Test & Tune at Fontana 04/05/2014 -- Anyone here going?

    All, I was at the NMCA West Regionals with my son this past weekend at Fontana when they announced that they will be hosting a T&T session this coming Saturday for the usual $20 for car & driver fee. Is anyone here heading out there? Neal, if you are reading this Tracer asked if you were going...

    Lapse in judgement?

    Holy Toledo, I can't wait to ride in this thing if passengers are allowed at some point. :)

    Old Video I found on my hard drive of Project Blue Hair (TR Ltd)

    I don't know (and really don't want to know) who owns this car now, but here is a video of it during a "spirited tire torture test" I conducted one day: 1987 Buick Turbo Regal Sleeper - Burnout Test - YouTube My thanks to fellow TB.com board member Brian Plunkett (if he is still here) and...

    Fontana to close?

    +1 on this; this type of policy would probably take out 3/4th of the bull$hit cars at Fontana.

    The State of Organized BUICK Racing on the West Coast

    There used to be a diehard group in our area that raced frequently for years lending credence to the name "BGNRA", then attrition began to take its course. Eventually it became the "Jason Hall / Neal S / Morgan H / Jeff Rand & Ray" Show more often than not at Fontana. Neal, Jason and myself...

    Woman crashes into parked classic GTO, destroys it

    The pictures from Page 1 of this thread are worth 1000 words. Can someone tell me which So Cal car hangout this took place at? I recognize the GTO that was the hapless victim in this case: Too much win [or fail]? Woman crashes into parked classic car, destroys it - AnandTech Forums

    Fontana Speedway

    Tune (if you are going to or know how to do that) for MPH; don't go for ET as Fontana won't deliver. Odds are that you will be driving into the wind as the day wears on, as you race west-to-east. Helmets can be purchased at either Summit or Jegs; "Snell" is the rating on the helmet denoted by a...

    Is this someone here? With pic of gray GN with NV plates on a trailer

    Posting a pic that I took while travelling north on the 57 Freeway by Angels Stadium at lunchtime yesterday...the GN had a windshield banner that read Something Performance; the rig towing it had a "Big T" sticker behind the driver. Nice car; however, I wouldn't know about trailering a GN, as I...

    2011 Buick Regal

    I owned an '04 GTO and loved it but my needs changed, so I traded it. Looking back, I wish I still had it. However, I wish GM had brought the Holden Monaro over with no front bodywork changes and put the Tri-Shield badge onto the Monaro nose. Presto, instant LS1 (or LS2) Regal; I bet the car...

    Warning...Do NOT tick off your girlfriends!!!

    She hits him with an object while holding a child. That's worth putting the children in the house with the cameraman, and hitting her in the solar plexus with the handle end of the golf club, then calling the police. It's hard to cuss out your other half in front of the kids when you can't breathe.
