Fontana AutoClub Speedway

 For Matt's birthday, his Dad sent him a certificate for a 5-lap NASCAR race around the AutoClub Speedway track in Fontana.  He was finally able to find a day to book it, so we pulled the girls out of school (special treat), picked Alan up a the airport, got lunch at Victoria Gardens and made our way to the track.  We first stopped by some of the coolest semi's I've ever seen!

 While Matt registered for his race, the rest of us checked out the track and some of the cars that would be racing.

 All geared up and ready to go!
 Lucky #7
 Matt was harnessed in and put his life in the hands of his driver, Bill.  He was even from Temecula!
 The raced 5 laps on the track at an average speed of 155 mph.  It was so loud and so fast and over in the blink of an eye, but he loved it!!
 He survived to tell us all about it and now wants to take the 2 day driving school so he can drive the car himself...

 It was really cool having Alan there to watch
and we all had a great afternoon together at the Rusty Wallace Riding Experience!
