As some of you may know the California Speedway in Fontana will have the Street Legal Drags & Autocrossing this weekend.
Regarding the drags, if you are running remember you will need your insurance policy number & expiration date (obviously it can't be xpired) & they also need your registration as well as the expiration date on that. A couple of people were not able to race because they didnt have that information.

 

what time do people need to get there to drag??

 

The speedway will open its ticket lines at 7:00 a.m. Prices are $10 per person entering the speedway and $10 for racers to purchase a Tech Card. Tech Cards will be limited to the first 500 racers. Children 12 and under will be admitted free with a paying adult.

ARRIVE EARLY DUE TO LONG LINES THAT FORM BEFORE 7:00 A.M.

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 ˝ 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.

 

There will also be an autoX there on sunday

Last time I got there around 5:30 am & there were people in line already. I think 5:30 am is a good time to get there.

 

at the very last street legals (pomona), I was in line at 415am!!!! I wasn`t even in the front haha

I hear you can get there at 630-730 and be ok.

True. Some people were there around 2 am this last time & they were not even the first ones.

 

no trailer, no slicks no fun thats wht i think. u cant even compare fontana to pomona. at pomona street legals they let u run slick and open down pipe

 

I agree. Pomona was way better. However this is better than nothing.

 

Are any of you guys going out to Fontana this weekend?

I was able to make it out there a couple weekends ago on their first opening. And I was one of they guys there at 2:30am. I couldn't believe there were even people there before me!!!

I only had two runs that day, and my best was a 14.434 @ 97.0 mph. All I have is Comptech Icebox, DC 4-1 Header, and custom crush bent 2.5" exhaust.

 

yoshi: if you are thinking about running at the drags too, shouldnt you register first thing in the morning? you know, go through tech inspection?

 

I"m not sure how the logists of that day will work, but I'd like to try both in one day Just hope that I"ll be able to wake up early enough from my friends party tomolo.
