The mountain that comes into view, with the clouds around the peak, is to the north of the track, During the winter it wears a really neat snow cap.

A little farther is the high desert and about 6-7 in the afternoon the winds really pick up, flow over that range and come flying down into Fontana. In Sept-Oct those winds will blow about 30 mph with some gusts as high as 50-60 mph.

Again, I am amazed that the weather was 'mild' compared to last year. The local papers were sayihg that attendance has gone down since they opened the track for the races. IT's a little bit about the weather and the fans not
wanting to travel so far out of the way-we are spoiled that most of the events in Lost Angeles are within a 20-25 mile range.

Although the Nat'l. Anthemn is a hard song to sing, I too dislike the 'funked/jazzed' up versions....

How's about "Living in America" instead?
