We actually almost did that last year: you guys were scheduled to run on November 21st and so were we.... I think yours got canceled because of rain but ours went through.

This year, hopefully both events go through..... that'd be epic

Here is the latest weather shot again....

Hey Mo!

I picked it up from Ace Auto in Huntington Beach. Stopped by while visitin Serge's shop for a pre-track day inspection.

I called in a couple days ago and asked them to hold one for me until this morning. They usually stock up a few. When I picked mine up this morning, they had 2 left.

Looks like another option would be California Speedway for there Street Legal Drags if we get rained out for the weekend at Famoso.

How much did you pay for what you got? The actual fuel and the jug? I'm coming down from Canada and I have NO clue where to buy these stuff in Cali!

It went from a high of 70 F with 0% chance of rain to a high of 66 F to 70% chance of rain then down to 40% and now down to 10%


If it happens and we do get rain on Saturday, we will race on Sunday. If Sunday gets rained out, then the event will get moved to December 4th.
Read above...

Sun,

Good seeing you today over @ Hyevon. Serge and Co. know there ****!

Thanks for offering up your drag radials. I may have to take you up on that offer. My street setup just isn't going to cut it and I couldn't source a descent setup for this weekend.

I'll figure out a way to repay you for the rubber

People can use our fuel containers to full up if needed.

Okay fellas..... seems like now weather.com is predicting 30% chance of rain on Saturday

The track uses their own weather station and will confirm with us whether the event will still be on or not by Thursday night/Friday morning. If Saturday is rainy, then we'll aim for Sunday.... if Sunday will be rainy too, then we will get moved to December 4th. Keep your fingers crossed....
