AMA RACES FONTANA - Sun Apr. 4

[tR1stan]

ok guys and gals, that time again.

im prolly only gonna go sunday. 1 day is enuff for me. sunday is the superstock, supersport and SUPERBIKE races. so you get alot of bang for your buck. i believe tix are $30.

first race on sunday is at 1200 noon. anyone want to meet up at starbucks/jamba juice, across from the edwards 22 at the ontario mills at lets say 10:00am? then ride over?

990 Ontario Mills Drive
Ontario, California 91764

P.S. bring cash and you can buy your ticket ON YOUR BIKE and just ride in.

[Marmalade Dad]

Dim sum starts as early at 9...but if people are not FLAKY and show up at 10...that would be an ok time. I would be down to meet for dim sum. Or breakfast somewhere else? Save money and not have to eat at the track. Maybe an IHOP near the track?

[slater]

Laura and I are up for some AMA action, but it would help if someone could direct me in the right direction for getting tickets! :D Oh and I vote for IHOP! graemlins/thumb.gif

[thach]

Any Yamaha dealer will have tickets for $25.

They also sell 3 day passes for $60, and you get a free pit pass.

I got this info from Champion Motorcycles & California Speedway newsletter.

Sunday sounds good!

[tR1stan]

[ZMoe]

I'd rather ride my bike (http://www.sportbikers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=4;t=000186) than watch others ride theirs. :D

[thach]

Sounds like fun.

Anyone else thinking about going Saturday as well/instead?

Don't worry bring them in to a dealer, Me & You can work out a deal with the sales people as to us getting a $$ kickback $$ if any of your stoner friends can buy a R1 for the price of a brand new FatBoy. What do you say?? :D

[Jake]

I might be attending on sunday +1 friend. I just recently found interest in SuperBikes (MotoGP fan) after seening some volatile Suzuki rider graemlins/asshole.gif drop kick a another rider. Cant beat Bike racing and wrestling for price of one ticket. :D

[SROCRR]

R most of you going on sunday or saturday? graemlins/7up3.gif

[tR1stan]

if u can go both days, by all means go. but if you can only go 1 day, go sunday. superstock, supersport, and superbike. all in 1 day.

BigBird's meeting place is in Arcadia, Tristan's meeting place is in Ontario which is about 10 minutes from the track. What you all should do is to have BigBird's crew meet Tristan's crew in Ontario. Then both go to the track. graemlins/idea.gif

[thach]

hey Steph,

i'm probably just going to meet you guys at the race. i have a pit pass and i'd like to use it. i was thinking of going early to check out the pits and then meet y'all when you get there.

unless i go really early and still have time to head over to Starbucks to meet with you guys. never been before so i don't know what the time schedules are like.

everybody caging it there?

[tR1stan]

pits take a whole 15-20min to walk through. actually pretty boring stuff. but you get to collect alot of posters! graemlins/thumb.gif

vendor area takes a bit longer. prolly like 1hr to look at all the vendors.

and were riding man!

[thach]

are you guys there for vendors too? or just for the races?

any suggestions on what i should do?

1) go and collect posters/take pictures and then leave and meet up with you kids at Starbucks (is parking free?)

2) meet up at starbucks and then go collect posters

3) thach, forget the stupid posters and just meet up with your sportbikers.net buddies


graemlins/cool.gif :D

[Jake]

Well I guess I can ride on back seat of Myrons 600RR, but that would be kinda ghey.... graemlins/twofinger.gif

[Jake]

are most of you guys riding or caging? I think I'm gonna cage w/ my friend.

[tR1stan]

parking is free.

cars park kinda far. bikes park right at the gate.


thach, we can just meet ya there if u want. but im telling u, u will have plenty of time to do everything u want. but if want, just give someone a call@<hidden> and we should be inside somewhere.

jake, u live 5 miles away and ur gonna cage it? lol. LOSER.

[BadVibe]

So, how did it go? Did you guys have fun? :confused:

[thach]

It was great. I had a grand ole time. Nice to see the SBN faces as always. smile.gif The pit pass was cool. I got to see the starting grid from behind all the pit areas. Cool views from both sides.

I am just a bit tired... and burnt to a crisp. Feels like it was a long day.

I have lots of pictures. James, you want to upload them to the MEDIA section?

Brien Whitlock went over his handlebars in the Supersport race, and managed to save a high side, get back on his bike, and ride back to the pits.

Did you see MJ (http://img.aguto.com/040403-04/IMG_1047)?

[tR1stan]

ya i heard jordan was there, but alas, we didnt see him. im sure he wasnt sitting in the bleachers with us poor people. graemlins/rolleyes.gif

[McSteven (tm)]

yeah, jordan was chilling in the vip section with nicky hayden, away from poor ppl like us. http://www.superbikeplanet.com/image/2004ama/fontana/timfon08/p07.jpg

here's the story about that rear plate equiped R1, qualified 13th place with a relatively stock 04R1, finished 11th. head lights and everything... hot damn.

j/k
graemlins/2fingercouch.gif Seriously -- I will probably be at SoW this weekend helping Brien out, again. How about a weekday evening? Do you have stands, yet???

[MAD1]

Nope don't have stands yet...but seriously i will be needing a pair to get the tires of and re mounted...you don't have a tire mounting apparatus do you? I have no idea how to make sure that they are aligned and all that jazz other than eyeballing it.

I'll be picking up the tires on friday around noon...Give me a call if you are free friday.
