Turns out I have to be in SFO on the 13th for a meeting so am flying into ONT the night of the 11th. How long does it take to get from the track to the airport? There's a 6:30PM departure I have to catch but it means leaving early and missing the awards ceremony. Oh well, as long as I get all the important stuff in.

Nope, the racing portion was cancelled and there was a pretty bad rainfall later anyway. I was jealous of your course!! I figured youd have fun. Any pics? Post em up. Haha....maybe the sweet little thing will decide to come early so daddy can go to the challenge!!


WHERE is FONTANA?!?!?! How close to SD? I never even thought of it.

Fontana can be reached either via the 10 or 210 freeway. The exit is Cherry Ave. From my house in Tarzana it takes me i'd say at most an hour and a half. Don't know how far it is from SD though.

$1100 is a bit steep for me right now for 1 day driving school.... but I think it would be worth it.

Anyone that is interested, but spooked by the steep price may want to givetheir dealership a shout. They usually get a few free passes each year and may be willing to sell it to you at a discount or even a free gift
