So-Cal Shootout SS/Stk Combo at Fontana May 26-27

Bryan Broaddus · 05-28-2007, 12:09 PM

Thanks to Nitro Joe for putting on a great race this weekend and to Mike Ogburn for kicking in on the prize money! We had a great time and really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, they even took a lunch break on Sunday! Reminds me of OCIR in days past.

The track staff was great! Even the track anouncer seemed to have a basic knowledge about Stock and Super Stock racing, even if somewhat out of date. Sorry Bowtie Bomber I couldn't resist, hehehe. Actually Bruce did a great job with the anouncing all weekend and provided some colorful entertainment.

Bowtie Bomber here is the "fish story" on the semis:

Bill Riddle snookered me just prior to the run!
Here we are, both strapped in at the head of the lanes with the doors open enjoying the nice breeze that is always present in Fontana in the afternoon. Bill quips "Hey looser buys dinner at Taps! (one of the best local dinner spots. (Bill and I live in Yorba Linda) I said OK, that sounds good! Then he says " No, make that the winner since he will be getting into the money round!" I couldn't argue with that logic so I said " Yea, that sounds better." So, Heather (the lane Master) motions us out to the water box and all I can think about is that big old Rib Eye Steak and a bottle of fine red wine. Now, as the Bowtie Bomber Bruce alluded to in his earlier post the "overweight Bowtie missle" doesn't miss many meals. This presented me with a real dilema! First, If I win this round I am going to have to pay for dinner for with Bill. Second it would knock the last MOPAR out of the "2007 So-Cal Shootout" sponsered by the local Mopar Club. So when I staged all I could see on the christmas tree was a bunch of big old Rib Eye steaks and wine glasses!! By the time I realized what was going on Bill was at half track and there was this big old green light on my side of the tree.
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
