Fontana 2008

Well, the best thing that can be said about this year's Auto Club 500 weekend is that we at least got to see the truck race! Unfortunately, that's pretty much all we saw. The Cup series cars got to practice for about 20 minutes on Saturday before the rain started coming down again. Everything was downhill from there for the rest of the weekend's festivities.

Once it started to rain, it just kept coming down. We stuck around for a while hoping and praying that the rain would start and we'd be able to watch the Nationwide race. No such luck...no way...ain't gonna happen! Rain. Rain. Rain. That's all it did. So, back to the room we went to dry off and relax for a bit. Then it was off to Red Lobster for dinner. Ok, so dinner freaking rocked! It was very yummy!

So, the truck race...that was pretty damn fun to watch! Kyle "Rowdy" Busch just killed them all. His truck was off the hook....driving like a dream! So...yeah...he won! Go Rowdy!


We didn't even bother sticking around for long on Sunday and didn't go to the track either. It was raining was we got up that morning and would only let up for a few minutes at a time and then start back up again. The one upside to leaving Fontana early was there was hardly any traffic to deal with...and we got home at a decent hour.

Here's a few pictures that I was able to get while we were there!

This was the view on the way home...nice and sunny, no rain in sight!
