We headed back out to Fontana's Auto Club Speedway to play in their giant parking lot.

With a huge auto-x track set up and a dedicated area for the Vipers to practice their drifting

skills, you know it was going to be a great day of fun.

This was the first time since 2009 that I actually got to drive and compete for time.   Boy did I have fun !!!

With Jay as my coach, we ran a 1:0957 !   Not bad on stock tires and me with no shoes.

LUNCH TIME !!!!

Nino showed up in his hot rod

No cones were harmed in his run thru the course

Probably not the smartest thing to do, but making a pass on the course in Eddie's Kart was too hard to pass up.

Barefoot and shorts......and I turned a 1:0685 lap time.   Eddie's kart is fast !

appreciated.
