December 5th Fontana CA 1/4th track day

fast242 · 11-06-2009, 04:12 AM

We will try this again and maybe more people will actually show up and participate. The incentive this time is I plan to bring a BBQ and a Canopy plus a cooler. So, if you show up, you will get free food, and if you are super cool, you can bring stuff to char or consume with your fellow TB members.

So, December 5th, Fontana. Think where the 15fwy and the 10fwy meet. $20 to run, $10 to watch.

Most volvo's will pass inspection. If you drip some oil, that is ok. Battery tie down strongly suggested and BE SURE to bring your insurance card for the car, Registration, and your License.

I currently plan to get there much earlier than we did last time. I might even leave my house at 5:30 am.

Hope to see you all there, and no more excuses. Even if the car is missfiring, or not creating the best boost, come out at least to support your fellow volvo.

I will be there!

Thinking about bringing a cooler with some grub, some camp chairs...should we try to park together in the paddock area? I see ppl do that a lot.

Thats exactly what is planned. Paddock area reserved in a way for volvo's only, or at least our group. We should not have too much problem with having at least 6 or seven spaces taken up for the volvo cars and a pop up shade a few chairs and a BBQ and cooler.

The trick it seems, is to have one vehicle come really early that is not dragging to camp out a spot in the paddock. If done early enough, we could get a decent spot that wont crowd anyone else out. The parking lot is HUGE and should be easy to create a volvo only spot. Expect to see many of these camps made.

Mike, An arizona trip would be dope as all get out, but the SoCal TB members seem to be unusually broke, not able to take two days off and averse to long drives. Maybe a January trip to AZ? I cannot swing a trip out till after Christmas. Personally, I don't mind a good drive, it's the cost to do so and time.

L8 APEKS · 11-07-2009, 10:11 PM

I wouldn't mind going out to AZ. Just have to schedule it.

As for the drags...I can get there as early as need be. I don't have an EZ-Up, but I have 4 folding camp chairs I can bring. I will also have both of my cars there I think; my buddy will probably be driving my Corrado. So we can try to gank as much room as possible. I also have a cooler and a small hibachi (briquette) grill. Maybe someone has a propane camp stove? That might be better. I'll have my toolbox with me as well (basic stuff). Spread all that crap out and I should be able to claim 4-5 spots I'd imagine.

Should make it a "euro" spot...there may be a few VW guys coming. ;)

I might be able to procure some traffic cones...just cone the spots off and move them for ppl in our group.

ThickasaBrick · 11-08-2009, 01:25 AM

Sounds good.
Please don't forget the Benz guys who are coming too.
I'll be bringing ramps, a 700 watt power inverter, a power cutting tool, and some hands tools as well.

The Benz guy's are more than welcome. It was not our intention to not include them last time, if they felt that way.

PJ

ThickasaBrick · 11-09-2009, 02:41 AM

No, I know you guys were cool, I just think Justin was kinda distracted cause his woman wasn't feeling good (I think she just didn't want to be there). BTW, she's not coming to this next one.

I just wanted to get it out there that they are coming again and to please save spots for them and me too (I'm a 1/3 Benz, 1/3 Volvo, 1/3 AMC guy). Also found out Justin's BMW buddy is coming too. He has a 88 3 series. Can he hang too? That would make it a true total Euro section.
Regards, Eric

L8 APEKS · 11-09-2009, 03:07 AM

Unless they are rich douche-nozzles in E55 AMG's. Then they can blow me.

The rest of them are welcome.

When the E63 came out, the E55 lost a lot of it's douche-ness. How can you say you are rich with a 4 year old car. Just sayin.

ThickasaBrick · 11-09-2009, 03:34 AM

I feel the same way as L8.
The newest car amongst us are two 93s.

Oops, need to edit the above as I just bought a 95 E420 tonight for $575 running/driving. I didn't want it, didn't need it, It needs work of course, and I don't have the room for it but I couldn't pass it up at that price.

I have 2 good 300Es that I now must cull from the herd. I'll trade them both for one really nice 93-94 turbo 940 wagon or sedan or I'll sell them outright. http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=184867 I'm bringing one of them on the 5th.

More like a stampede of cars. Few of us have the space for so many vehicles.

Speaking of which...does someone have room for me to park my Corrado at their place for a while?!?!

ThickasaBrick · 11-12-2009, 01:31 AM

If you'll take a 300E off of my hands, I'll be able to put your VW in the 300E's spot.

So who is coming on the 5th? So far I see only three firm commitments. L8, P.J., myself, my two Benz buddies, and that 88 3 series BMW.

i just realized when this is and im in, I'll call this my "end of term before finals study session"

fast242 · 11-12-2009, 11:29 PM

Looks like I am bringing Carne Asada as the beef of choice, corn tortilla's, fresh guacamole, fresh salsa, cheese, limes, and salt. I do not believe they allow alcohol in the paddock, but if you decide to attempt such things, it will be up to you to take care of that issue. I plan to bring Some soda and a cooler. Extra coolers may help, as well as a chair.

BUT, it would help to know how many are coming for sure, even just to watch due to mechanical difficulties. I would rather not spend a ton on food and only have 4 people show up. I would like to keep the overage to a minimum.
