Re: Anyone going out to Fontana this weekend? (NWP4LIFE)
yeah i'm going...i was going to start a thread but looks like you beat me to it.
My friend has a prelude and we are sorta trying to organize a friendly competition.
He has about 10 ludes showing up vs. only 5 R's. Common guys back me up. haha
We will be there Sunday if anyone is interested. P.S....get there early.
If you show up early enough you can get up to 10 runs. All for $20. That's $2 a run.

Re: Anyone going out to Fontana this weekend? (vagoITR)
yeah, get there early (7:30) because it will probably fill up. This is the first event in a few months, so a lot of people are anxious to get back to the track. Sunday seems to be the day that all of the people from the various forums are going. The more people the better. Last time the mustangs and camaros were in the majority, so hopefully we can change that. And yeah, you can get a lot of runs in.

California Dragway Rules - Updated 12/17/01
In addition to the rules set forth for participation in the Street Legal Program, all 16 and 17-year-old participants must have a parental/legal guardian consent form signed. For parents or legal guardians accompanying their child to the speedway for participation in this program, the form can be completed during the registration process. The form is also available at the speedway's administration office prior to the Street Legal Event Weekends. The form can be picked up between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and returned at the time of registration. Only original copies of the consent form will be accepted.
Tune Car Radio to 104.7 for announcements
ALL NHRA STREET LEGAL RULES WILL APPLY AND GOVERN THE EVENT
Basic Technical Requirements:
Vehicle must have current vehicle registration, license and a valid proof of insurance (must have all documentation with you at time of registration). All vehicles must enter off of Cherry Avenue. The speedway is located at 9300 Cherry Ave., Fontana. Cost - $10 to enter and $10 to race ($20 total).
Vehicle: no water, fuel, oil or trans leaks.
Electronics: No aftermarket electronic devices allowed (throttle stops, delay boxes, etc.)
Exhaust: Must be routed through street legal muffler(s). All runs will be monitored on a decibel meter (100db at 100’ from the strip). If it is too loud you will not be allowed to run. NO EXCEPTIONS! It is your responsibility.
Tires: Street legal DOT approved treaded tires, front and rear required on all vehicles. Tires will be inspected for overall condition (no bare tires).
Wheels: All wheel studs, with lug nuts required. Broken or missing studs/lugs must be replaced before racing. Hub caps/wheel covers must be removed for inspection.
Lines & Hoses: All fuel, transmission, brake and power steering lines must be secure and free of leaks. Neoprene fuel lines limited to 12” overall.
Radiator: Overflow catch tank mandatory on all vehicles and no leaks.
Driver: Must have valid state driver’s license. No shorts, bare legs, tank-tops, bare torsos, bare feet permitted when racing. (Insurance requirement).
Helmet: Required in all vehicles faster than 13.99 seconds. Helmet must meet SNELL 85 (effective Jan. 98) or better standards (must have label inside of helmet).
Seats: Must be securely fastened to floor or frame with minimum 4 attaching bolt and nuts. No sheet metal screws.
Seat Belts: All cars and trucks must have as a minimum, an O.E.M.-type lap belt system, securely mounted to frame or floor.
Batteries & Ballast: Batteries must be secured per OEM, or with minimum of 2 (two), 3/8” diameter bolts (no straps, bungee cords, wire, etc.). Loose ballast is not permitted on the racetrack, so be prepared to empty trunks and interiors of all loose items. Spare tires, jacks, etc. must be securely mounted or must be removed. Tools, jack stands, coolers, loose speakers, wheel covers, etc. are considered loose ballast and are not permitted on the track. If you don’t need it, or don’t want to leave it unattended, leave it at home.
Neutral Safety Switch: All vehicles must be equipped with an operational Neutral Safety Switch. The neutral safety switch prevents the vehicle’s starter from turning the engine over unless the transmission is in Park or Neutral (or unless the clutch pedal is depressed with a manual transmission).
Nitrous Oxide: Bottles must be stamped as meeting DOT 1800-pound standards and must be securely bolted to the frame or floor (no bungee cords, hose clamps, etc). All fittings, hoses, etc. must be compatible from same manufacturer, vented to outside of driver compartment.
Roll Bars & Cages: Roll bar required in any vehicle running between 10:00 and 11:99 E.T. (convertibles between 11:00 and 13:99). Roll cage required in any vehicle faster than 9.99 (convertibles quicker than 10.99). Roll bar / cage structures must meet minimum NHRA standards as found in the 1999 rulebook.
Motorcycles: Must be registered for the street, front and rear brakes, chain guards, ignition cutoff switch, and functioning snapback throttle mandatory. Any pressurized container (air shifter bottles, nitrous bottles) must be stamped as DOT 1800-pound standards. Leather jacket, gloves and leather (above ankle) shoes mandatory (up to 120 mph; over this speed-full leather is required). Full-face helmet labeled as meeting SNELL 85 or better Mandatory.
Convertibles: All racers participating with convertibles MUST wear a helmet.
Note: When elapsed times are quicker than 11.99 specialized racing equipment is required. For example, when a roll bar or cage is required, so is an approved 5-point shoulder harness assembly. If you know or suspect that your vehicle will exceed these ET limits, we suggest contacting the NHRA Tech Department at (626) 914 4761 with your questions.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
After Tech Inspection
Move your car forward and walk to the “Tech Registration Table” Where you will show I.D., sign a release of liability and get a wristband for restricted area access. Once you have completed registration, return to your car to have your number applied to your windows. You may now find yourself a “pit” location (10 ’ X 20’ max per car).
Hear the Call
Tune your car radio to 104.7 fm for the Speedway’s PA announcements. All categories will be called to the staging lanes at random rotation. Listen for your category to be called. Please DO NOT come to the lanes until your category is called. Be sure to bring your “RUN CARD” and have all safety items in place with seat belts on. Also, leave all loose items out of vehicle.
Rev it up
When you get to the back of the staging area, you will be directed to a lane. At the front of the lane you will be asked for your “RUN CARD”, get it punched and proceed as directed.
Burn – Out!!!
You will be directed to the “box”, where a 5 second burn – out is permitted. On the Starting Line Official’s signal, roll your car forward until the top two small yellow bulbs on your side of the christmas tree are lit… STOP. You are now STAGED and ready. When the tree is activated, you will see 3 amber bulbs flash ½ second apart then GREEN…GO!!! GO on the GREEN.
Hint: Try to leave on the last amber for a better reaction time.
Top Speed…
After crossing the Finish Line, let off the gas slowly apply the brakes. Stay in your lane and drive to the end of the track, turn left and return to the pits, stopping at “TIME-SLIPS” booth. Return road speed limit is 15 MPH.
Quiet Please
In our continued efforts to be good neighbors, we will be enforcing our “zero tolerance” policy for decimeter readings over limit. Also, please be considerate of what our neighbors think of us when leaving the facility…Drive Safely.
California Speedway reserves the right to deny participation and revoke all rights and privileges pertaining to this event.
No Alcoholic Beverages or Glass Containers are permitted on the premises.
In addition to the rules set forth for participation in the Street Legal Program, all 16 and 17-year-old participants must have a parental/legal guardian consent form signed.
