I always enjoyed the hauler parade they used to do on Thursday.

Just the chartered cars this weekend

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Now we get to see how these cars REALLY race

 

[racingfan7]

Garrett Smithley will be in the 15 & Josh Bilicki in the 77

 

[Efisher131]

Super excited for this race to see what this car does, and because they have some horsepower and there will be off throttle time

 

[Kiante]

The tire dragon should be enough, no?

Huh. Interesting they are using both the resin and tire dragon at Fontana when it naturally rubbers over time due to the multiple grooves on the track.

Or is it a safety pre-caution because of the lack of running for the last two years?

With the 670 package, I'd hope they'd be hitting the 190s going into 1

 

[Ford 222]

Now the REAL racing begins.

 

[Mispeedway15]

I am curious if a slipstream of sorts will be at play. We really saw this last year at Michigan where it looked like early 90s Daytona racing

 

[Nitro Dude]

I'm looking forward to this race. Bowman already has a win in Fontana.

I thought Auto Club was being reconfigured? Is it for 2023?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Yes, and it's possible that the reconfiguration will be delayed further.

 

[JJ_14]

Good. I'm one of the few that actually likes the current layout of Auto Club Speedway. One of my favorite tracks actually. The bumps are an issue however.

Feel free to ignore me.

Feel free to ignore me.

I mostly do

 

[Nitro Dude]

It's a little frosty in here today.

Why the ****** don't you **** ****** ****** Google it ****** you **** ******** ***** and ya mother too.

Just trying to match the vibe in here

 

[StandOnIt]

Yeah, I was way off today, I apologize to everybody I pissed off.

 

[Mike Crayne]

Dont worry, we stayed off your lawn.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Maybe YOU did. That isn't the morning dew on the grass.

 

[Nitro Dude]

I didn't have the best day yesterday either. I stopped and filled my car up on the way to the slot car track and after I got done working on my slot cars and went to leave my car wouldn't start. I had just replaced the fuel pump about 3 years ago, but it sure acted like a faulty pump, so I tapped on the tank, and it started up. I drove home and pulled into my shop and shut it off and tried to start it again and it wouldn't start unless I tapped on the gas tank again. So now I have to drain all of the gas today and replace the fuel pump again. But I'm going to take it over to my buddies' shop where I did it last time and he and I are going to do it there because he has a lift.

 

[StandOnIt]

Okay, what's with the qualifying groups? What's the format this week?

 

[jaqua19]

He's 3 away from being the all time winner there. Pretty JJ is the all time winner with 6. It's doable.

I wonder how this car will race at two mile Fontana. The racing really sucked there once they cut the horsepower.

Early rumblings are there will be significant tire wear, so that is usually good for racing
