Default Anyone run at Fontana yesterday (12/6/08)?
Strange sent me the wrong gearset, so I didn't get to make it. Anyone else here run? How were the conditions? Crowded?

We were there yesterday and got a new PB, 12.05 @ 111. Had a total of 4 passes. Lots of cars.

Wow. I imagine the short itme on that run wasn't too pretty. It sounds like track prep was miserable. Were you running on street tires or some type of drag tire?

for whatever reason, they cancelled today's street legal event. more track days are necessary, for sure.

I need to get my new car tuned and I will be at the next one. I am going to take the NX kit off the LT1 and put on the LS1. Should run good, Maybe we both can make it to the next one that would be cool
