Re: Live From The Fram Autolite Nationals
Toby...really great pics!! Is the grass dead, or is it really dry or there just isn't any grass around??
Also, do you know when this track was built? It looks fairly new!?! |

Re: Live From The Fram Autolite Nationals
The grass is dead.. The track ran the 1st major race in March of 1969.

There's nothing wrong. He had an A-arm bolt come loose the last time he ran the car at a combo race in Fontana. He kept it off the wall and there was minimal damage. He had the front end aligned and the alignment bolts were a little bit short so they were replacing them with longer ones. They were also adding some kind of electronics to his car. I can't remember the name of it. I think he said it was a matty ... a matty something they were installing. -Toby |

Re: Live From The Fram Autolite Nationals
Not much chance of crashing into a tree around there! Any sign of Rory McNeil? He was talking about going. Thanks for the pics and updates btw.. Almost as good as being there but a lot cheaper. Good luck to all and race safe.

Re: Live From The Fram Autolite Nationals
Toby, thank you for taking the time for showing us what we're missing. Good thing that you were prepared with spare parts for your trailer and Ramp truck. Good luck and thank you very much for taking the time taking pictures. Claude
