Martin,
Is there going to be a food stand open for breakfast and/or lunch at Auto Club Speedway for us next Monday? or is lunch included like at the last DE at Qualcom?
Greg Trigeiro

Hey Greg, ask and ye shall receive.
Scratch all that no concession stuff. Fresh BBQ and a good cause.
Guaranteed, no house pets in this on-site concession stand (unlike the Roach Coach at the Q)

Hey Isabella, I heard the secret sauce is made with 100 Octane.
If so, I'll take two.

[Bill Behun]

Cool ! Sounds like good food.

For the cause I will eat for two!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted make a new thread with last minute details regarding our upcoming DE at CalSpeedway in Fontana:

1. If you haven't already done so, please pre-tech your car in the next couple of days with an approved PCA shop. This makes it SO MUCH easier for the tech and onsite registration team.

2. Onsite tech will be open at appx. 7-7:10 a.m. for those that could not pre-tech.

3. Driver's meeting at 8:15 a.m. Track goes hot at 9:00 a.m. We have a tight schedule so we'll have to be as efficient as possible and run on time. We don't have a PA system for the track, but we've got the bull horn and are planning on bringing an air horn to give the paddock 5 min. warnings before their run group.

4. Driver's will need to wear long sleeve shirt and long pants, closed shoes. All drivers in car classes that normally wear race suits in club races or time trials (modified or highter), need to wear those along with the correct shoes, and gloves.

5. The gas station inside the track with race gas WILL NOT be open. I've never seen any race fuel sold at the 3 gas stations outside the track, so if your car needs to run on octane higher than 91, you will have to bring your own.

6. We will have our own BBQ concession stand with food, drinks and snacks set up in a couple E-Z up tents just outside our bank of garages. The corner workers will have only 45 minutes for lunch, so when they come in off the track for their break, please allow them to have "front of line" priviledges so that they can eat and be ready for our afternoon run sessions.

7. For those that are coming up the night before (Sunday), I've received permission from the track to allow us to leave our trailers and cars at the track and in our assigned garage parking spaces. Please note Speed Ventures has the track until 5:00 p.m. and then will be vacating the track to go home. We must allow them to do so and then come in to take our spots. We cannot enter the track infield before 5:00 p.m. and must be out and off the track property by 7:00 p.m. There is no overnight camping or anyone allowed within the gates after 7:00 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m. the following morning.

If anyone arrives before 5:00 p.m. and wants to hang out before we are allowed to go into the infield section, there is a large parking lot just before the tunnel (on the left) to enter the infield (underneath the track) nearest the go-kart track. There is a Los Angeles Kart Club race this Sunday and you can watch free of charge from that vantage point. Isabella will be racing on Sunday and if you feel so inclined to cheer for her, she's in a yellow KRT kart #10.

8. Track goes cold at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Rumor has it that a certain person has raided the equipment trailer of some beverages for those that want to re-hydrate and wait for the traffic to die down.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but we'll add to this thread as we go.

The DE Team is really excited about this new venture in our chapter's DE history and hope the general membership is as well. In response to the positive feedback thusfar and the number of entries, (WE ARE SOLD OUT WITH A WAITING LIST!!!! ) we are being proactive at this point. I've already had preliminary talks with this track and others about securing more favorable dates for 2010 before their official calenders are released. Stay tuned as we move forward!
