I raced there from the early 90`s till closing............what a shame it`s gone and that`s the main reason I race 1/8th mile at Irwindale.

Yep, about the same with me well maybee the later 80s till they closed, it was far from a great track but i alway had good traction , i think i have one pass of your Dart on video from a test and tune day in about 2004?

I will have to look, i think a 11;80 to12:15??? iv'e never been to either Irwindale or Fontana but i hear good stuff about both really, well my buddy tells me Fontana has good track prep. I was gonna go to Fontana fot their street legal on the 18th but i can't pass up what is suppose to be good weather on Friday. I will see if i can record your pass to DVD when i can.

Usually the Friday night TNT sessions at Famoso are a waste of time. The track is not prepped like it would be at a race and there will be 15,000 rice rockets there spilling everything from anti freeze to coca cola on the track surface. It drives the track crew crazy but they enjoy a good return on the gate.

If the import attendance is normal you will be lucky to get more than 2 passes in. I could be wrong, but it was this way the last two times we were there on Friday night. We will be there, but only to park for our Summit race on Sat/Sun.

The best thing about LACR was Bernie. He was very good to us for years.

the last couple time there for tset & tune sucked, which is why you all should drag your Mopars to the Mopar Magic Show in Sacramento this sunday! Killer time and they dont let spctaters stand in the water box while you do your burn out
a bunch of the mopar gang from fresno and bakersfield will be there.

Better night than my Dad had.....riped the driver side header off his car....hung it up on the trailer....called me at 9:30 pm to pull the header off my car....I got home at mid night...got the header pulled by 2 am. Then my mom ran it down there.....not sure how the rest of his weekend went.

I did not meet him but his Dart was about 3 cars ahead of us in line while we were waiting to get in, he was no where near it. Busy busy night never was able to see him run, very very dark, i dont know how cars with no head lights make it up that return road, mine were way out of adjustment and i was drivin in brail LOL.
