It's not Kyle Petty.... but as we teachers like to say to our students, "You're on the right track though!!"



Grandpa Dave mentioned the "Big O".... NASCAR raced at Ontario from 1971 until I believe 1979...... same fate befell Ontario and Riverside, as mentioned... teh same fate that will eventually befall Fontana.... progress and profit and eminent domain abuse....

I think Adam was only 19-20 when he died..... in 2000.


I'll drop a hint. It was Riverside in 1981.

Yes, eventually Fontana will fall to the realtors and politicians advocating suburban expansion.
