Redline Time Attack Spring Mountain

Well, unfortunately Fontana Nissan Racing did not go to this event. Reality once again reared its ugly head.  Work commitments compounded by an unfinished new engine for the 350Z led to the decision to skip this one.

But, that did not mean that Fontana Nissan was not well represented at the event! Scott ran the display for the Nissan Race Shop with the help of the lovely Kerryann. Thanks to all who stopped by!

Nissan Race Shop. com has the goods!

Scott VanderHeide and the Nissan Race Shop.com display hit the road this past Labor Day Weekend to display at Auto Club Speedway  in Fontana.

The new website www.nissanraceshop.com is up and running. Yeah!! Go on over and check it out.  Give Scott any feedback you may have about the site.  He responds well to feedback.

The crowd was enthusiastic at the Import Drag Race but the sun was equally enthusiastic, cranking the temps to around 107 degrees. Out of morbid curiosity we measured the asphalt temp right outside the tent. A wilting 157 degrees.  Okay, enough of the summer, give me the pouring rain and freezing temps already.

Scott clearly demonstrates heat stroke and it’s ugly after effects. Poor Michelle Farias, Miss Redline Fontana.

Luckily, Michelle helped draw people to the Nissan Race Shop booth since Scott was busy inputting more cool aftermarket parts to the new site.  Thanks Michelle!!

Don’t forget to go to the new site and check it out.  It is not too early to start your list for Santa. Remember, the early bird gets the worm or intake manifold or diff cooler or whatever.
