Title: Fontana Drag-In Post by: Sarge on July 19, 2009, 21:00:37 pm Took a drive out to Fontana this morning with Carlos. The weather was hot and very humid, the attendance pretty slim. Drank a few brews and sat in the shade with Scott Bakken and his wife, Betty who came out to drive her new Powder Puff car. Scott managed an 11.71 out of his rig in the heat.... most folks were four tenths off with the weather being the way it was. Nice to see Lyle ( formerly of Rancho Performance in Cucamonga) back at it after a thirteen year absence from the hobby. Lyle bought a well traveled '67 sedan from Dave Greiner's brother, stuffed some horsepower under the deck lid, and ran some nice mid 12 second passes off the trailer. A few pics before heading home for the couch and some air conditioning..... ;)

Title: Re: Fontana Drag-In Post by: Rennsurfer on July 19, 2009, 21:08:49 pm Very cool, Sarge. My hat's off to you guys for braving the heat. I wanted to go... but like last year, I opted out. I'm spoiled and can't deal with the Inland Empire during the the hot months.
Thank you for the report and pictures. Title: Re: Fontana Drag-In Post by: speedwell on July 19, 2009, 21:12:48 pm cool shot bro

Title: Re: Fontana Drag-In Post by: Sarge on July 20, 2009, 13:00:28 pm Nice pic Sarge! thank for sharing ;) My pleasure! You've got to give Scott a load of credit... hard enough getting your own shit to run in the heat, let alone getting one's wife down the track (especially when it was her very first time)! 8) Title: Re: Fontana Drag-In Post by: Liou on July 20, 2009, 13:09:38 pm hi sir sarge
