Fontana is a **** track and we all know it.
Its not open late so if you work to bad so sad.

If they would open up the track late on a saturday then we wouldn't be on the street. And if they prepped a little better we would like the track that much more.
You're right, a rondom street is going to be prepped much better than Fonatna.

You also can't prep fontana like you can a "random" street. Fontana won't let you lay down as much rubber and as much vht as you want.

You can prep a "random" street to your liking.

-_- ok so like I know I've been promising to come for like 3 weeks now, but finally my parents are going to be out of town on Saturday so maybe just maybe I can go. The problem is my gf is coming to my house on Saturday, but I don't know for how long and my parents will be tracking my phone. Well the tracking the phone part might not be a problem because I said I would be spending the night at my friends house and there might be some reception problems there (aluminum foil wrapped around my phone).

EDIT: Well ok I just found out that my aunt is staying at my house this weekend instead of going out of town so that means she won't be tracking me, but it sucks because now my gf and I can't do anything.

I've been seeing you post on here and I have to ask how old you are. It's really quiet pathetic to be tracked by your parent or can't go out because you're not allowed to go to certain areas they deem "dangerous." Get some ***** and tell them I'm going out. If it's their phone then give it to them, if they're paying for the car then you **** out of luck or tell them to start paying for it then get a job and pay for one yourself if you don't currently have a job. Go out wherever with your girlfriend or just start making your aunt that sits and watches you guys uncomfortable by just making out with your girl in front of her.

The Steet Legal's at fontana have terrible prep. On some other events they seem to have better prep but still terrible compared to a lot of other tracks.

Yeah dude I 100% agree with you. It is pathetic, I'm 17 next month. My aunt shouldn't be tracking me or not let me go somewhere because it is deemed "unsafe". If I actually lived my real parents I would have said I'm going out so deal with it. The thing is you don't know my situation. If I said that to my aunt she would say ok hand over your phone, wallet with credit card, and keys and go back to bumfuck Texas where you came from and go live with your extremely depressed mother who doesn't do anything and where you have to work just so you can buy food and feed yourself. I might not have tons of freedom but I live a very comfortable life. To me having to wait a few weeks so I can convince my aunt of something is well worth being able to live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood and go to a nice school.

I was there for a PSCA event. I'll be doing the next one too. The track prep was good. Enough for plenty of wheels stand and sub 7 second runs.

Nevermind you're still 17 so I guess you can't say or do **** or else you have to hand everything over including your wallet. That's why I didn't let my parents pay for anything for me after my first job at 16 so if they want something handed over, they better go buy their own. You just have a seat and don't rock that boat. Enjoy your car in santa monica and enjoy banging all the high school cheerleaders while you can. Should be easy with the camaro and all .

Lucky bastard. I didn't have a hard time with girls in high school and I wrote a bike. I had a couple of friends with ugly mugs but had turd gens and they got even luckier sometimes. Keep knocking them down and make some memories in that camaro to tell your grand kids about.
