Fontana, take 2

Don | April 21, 2010

This coming Saturday we are heading out to Fontana Raceway again but this time it’s to watch some drag races. They are holding the NHRA Heritage Series Nostalgia Drags. I’m not sure what I’m going to see but I’m taking my camera and will post pics afterwards. Click here to see the info on it.

Winternationals… for real

Don | February 14, 2010

A few months ago I made a post titled Winternationals but it was really the NHRA Finals that I went to in November. They both happen at Pomona Raceway in California but one is the end of the season and one is the beginning. Yesterday Betty and I went to the true Winternationals and I [...]
