Famoso Race Donation Dyno Don will be providing his truck and a trailer for the trip to the Famosa race track. The truck will be carrying supplies, tires, spare parts and the trailer for anyone who breaks down. This will be quite an expense for gasoline etc. I will be donating to the cause to help offset the expenses. Hopefully others will help with the expenses. :) |
Re: Famoso Race Donation I will do the same, I'll bring some extra small parts also. distributor, tranny mount,tps,fuses,1 ton floor jack,jumper cables. flash light, converter extension cord, shop light. jack stands. Now I just hope I can make it. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation I will be more than happy to pitch in. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Remember to bring your walkie-talkies (we're still missing one), lots of water, ice, food and drinks. I'm thinking we need to leave from Don's shop by 6:30am to make it up to the track by 9am opening. I dont know where to meet up with the L.A. people unless we call you when we're close to your on-ramp. We'll take the 5 north from OC thru LA and over the grapevine, to the 99 into Bakersfield and then the 65 to Famoso. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation chip in, of course! Are we going stop for breakfast on the road? |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Make it 6:00 AM, then we can stop at the bottom of the hill in Backo for that. |

Re: Famoso Race Donation Yea! I'll chip in too. Bring spare rear ends, Trannys(T5), coils, spark plug wires, oil, regular tires, head lights, brakes, any and all distributor parts, fuel, race fuel, screws and bolts and most of all, drivers. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation You must be planning on driving your car real hard. :) |
Re: Famoso Race Donation So hey... can a lonely NorCaler pitch in if (in worst case) my DAILY DRIVER needs something in a pinch? :) Is Lon going? |

Let me know if you guys have a place in mind, since I'm coming from the AV, it'll be easier for me to meet up w/ you guys somewhere on the way. There is a Denny's in off the 5 in Lebec, let me know if that's a good place to meet up w/ you guys & gal. address: 9046 Grapevine Rd. Lebec, CA. 93243 |

Is that the one where you're screaming down the back of the grapevine at 75+ miles per hour, downhill, dodging trucks and other assorted morons doing 65 or less? And you have to abruptly slide over into the far right lane and slam on the brakes to make the off-ramp? Isnt there also a Jack in the Box there? I think I remember that one. :nod: |

Re: Famoso Race Donation Well geeze I guess most of Nor-Cal is backing out now huh? You must have scared them away with those newly built 12 second cars. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Hey Brandon that is a big opening for your car. :) You have a good chance to mover towards the top of the standings. |

Re: Famoso Race Donation :doh: There is only one Saturday left in this month. Im lost, I may not make it. |

The coordination, timing, or whatever just wasn't right for most. However, I think I will be there with a friend from Stockton and his lowly RS LS1 conversion. Quick question about the donation for Dyno Don's equipment: What is the suggestion there? Does it depend on use/need? :) |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Hello All, This is the lowly RS LS1 lol... I want to give some money to guys for the help, cause this is the longest trip for the camaro with the new motor (want to get back home). It seems like its me and Caddy coming from nor cal. I dont know why people love to flake. its ok we can have a great time out there. Hope to see you guys Joey J. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation I dont think you guys will need the truck and trailer unless you break down out there. Its for us SoCal people to haul all our tools, tires, and equipment instead of in our cars. If we leave at 6am we should make it to the Denny's at about 7:30am. And its another hour from the Denny's to the track, so we'll have to eat quick. OC people, meet at Don's shop before 6am. LA people and late birds, meet at the Denny's at 7:30am. So, should we invite the other gens, or no? Our numbers have dwindled down to 10 or so, and if we dont get 16 cars, then we dont get our own lane. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Sure you wont need a multicar hauler. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Only if you are going Tom. :) |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Only if you are going Tom. My car did a round trip to Auburn cruising at 80 no problem |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Why arent you and Chris going, Tom? |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Too much family stuff. We managed to go to Palmdale a few weeks ago, but Bakersfield is just too time consuming right now. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation I have a 20% off coupon for Denny's from the newspaper. That should save us some big bucks on breakfast. :thumbsup: |
Re: Famoso Race Donation I'll be heading up to spectate in my mom's mazda tribute. If needed I can put parts in the back if that helps anyone.. Looking forward to this.. :) |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Looking better all the time. By the way my wife is going to go along to see what it is all about so that 20% will come in handy. I guess we will meet up on the 5/605 crossing. Maybe Lakewood Blvd. |

Re: Famoso Race Donation I checked the weather report and its gong to be in the 90's at the track. Remember, you must wear long pants and a shirt with sleeves to race. Sweats over shorts is ok. We'll have a cooler with us so bring lots of water. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation I think we will bring a cooler too. |

Re: Famoso Race Donation The weather should be in the 70's for the first race and low and mid 80's for the next races. It looks like it does not get into the 90's until late afternoon. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Chris' weather prediction: 80 by 10am 90 by 12:30pm 95 high, around 2:30pm Someone bring a weather station. :) |

This is my 1st time going to the track, I know that I need to bring the following: valid license registration proof of Insurance Is there anything else that I need to bring? This track wont check those things, but Fontana does. Short sleeves is fine. Just no muscle shirts or tank-tops. You also have to have shoes or sneakers and socks, no sandals or flip-flops. You also need a helmet if you're running 13.99 or faster, which you should. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Sounds just great coming from the chilly Bay area. What about helmets? Are they required? Will they be available if required? EDIT: Beat to the punch. I won't be close to 14 but Ramair21 might be all over that. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation I was planing on wearing a tank top because my car does not have A/C :eek: . I am going to take a helmet for sure. Im going to need it i hope. Hoping to hit 13.6. Im going to get some water and soda's and bring it to the track. Anyone going to bring a cooler? 95* is pretty hot with all the heat coming from all the motors. LOL... Cant wait to see you guys there. Joey J. PS. LETS GO MIKE!!! |
Re: Famoso Race Donation I will also bring a small cooler of ice & water, see you guys @ the Denny's in Lebec @ 7:30 am! 9046 Grapevine Rd. E. Lebec, CA. 93243 http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...09_32_full.jpg |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Have Fun everybody,wish that I could come. I'll make the next track meet hopefully. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Fomoso Now refered to as the "HOT SAND BLOWS INN" Palmdale only further away. |
Re: Famoso Race Donation Famoso. ~grumble~ I actually had a lot of fun and going over Pacheco Pass in a car with some power is fun.. :) |
Re: Famoso Race Donation It was nice meeting the people from NorCal. They had some very nice cars. I want to thank you for comming. |
