Let’s get all of you a gold star

OK. Sources Fontana employee to NHRA employee to a good close friend known for years. . I believe them. Good thing about all of this is probably no buildings erected due to contaminated soil. But large areas to park on in this area are hard to get. Amazon needs it. They are not going to park on the drag strip that's a good sign, only time will tell. Question is when it's time to put race cars on the track will we have a place to pit. I'm on the positive side of this situation.

Hope is all you have. Fingers crossed

Non-answer to the question from the track:

Sounds like they are making plans for 2021

Like you said...all we can do is hope..

I can always sell my dragster and go back to street racing..had more fun and made more money doing that then being granted the privilege of giving nhra my money.....

Well Dave thanks to you I was able to buy one of my favorite cars. we did donate to NHRA, but I'm sure both of us have a lot of good memories. The Balance shop arrow just gota have it. lol

Well, my hair dressers cousin knows the guy that sweeps the parking lot at NHRA hqtrs and he said he thought Fontana would open up. And if anybody should know it's gotta be him.

Any idea where the Arrow ended up Bob? I'd love to have it back..

Hey Dave- I sold it to Chuck Young of the "Frenzy" Falcon fame. He and Ed Selnow put a sb chevy in it and Chuck took the car with him when he moved to N. Carolina in '92 or 93. He sold the car a few yrs. later and I think it went to Florida. Boy the first 9.70 pass that I made with that sb Chrysler at Bakersfield scared the ---- out of me.

It just went where you pointed it lol..

If I can find Chucks # I'll find out where it went for sure. Get ready for a long drive if it's available lol

Yeah, I guess that will tell me how much I really would like to have it back huh?
Someone said it was painted all red now?

Hey Bob, what ever happened to Ed Selnow?

Bob

Hi Bob Ed Selnow totally dropped out of drag racing. Last I saw him he was on the crew or crew chief for C. Breedlove land speed jet car and working as a jet mechanic in Lancaster. He was a good one, very analytical. Way ahead of most of us on dialing with a throttle stop. Ed and Windys "Bank Account" chevy II. I need to find him too.

We have now turned the " The Future of Fontana" to the "Past Days of California Drag Racing"

Larry,

There's one of every message board that can't just provide a respectfully worded disagreement. Instead it comes in the form of a petulant personal attack.

I think the Hot Rod Heritage schedule has 2 race dates at Fontana

Oops, read it wrong. Famoso has the 2 race dates. Sorry for my inaccurate post.
