I was going to go, but agreed to work tonight because I thought it was going to rain. Now that it has not rained I'm frustrated because I cant go. I think the last time I was there was in August.

How obvious is the turn off and how sticky is the track? Don't want to embarrass myself the first time I go and afraid that I will bog and stall or spin like crazy. And then missing the turn would be the icing on the cake. Thinking I should go next week but not sure

First turn out comes up quick, I have to get on the brakes hard pretty much lock it up to barely make the first one, the second is easy, it is the end of the track and just follow around. It is usually pretty sticky hopefully the left lane is good tonight, I think it was nice enough today to undo the affects from the rain yesterday. Left lane is usually the best, right I almost always spin.
If you are there and want some pointers I am the tall lanky white dude with the pewter Z28 hardtop with 69 Z28 badges.
Ohh looks like rain next thursday but I will be watching the weather like I had been doing all day yesterday as I miss running at Irwindale and am glad I can this semester.

You should take your car to the 1/4 Adam and see what she will do.

I have only been out to Fontana ~3 times and Irwindale ~3 times since the t56 has been rebuilt, but I've gone 7.98 @92.9 @ Irwindale and best of 12.48 @ 113.7 at Fontana...
With a 7.5x at Irwindale, you'll be running at LEAST bottom 12's, in my 'bench racing' opinion...
We should line up next time we're out!
