Fontana is a lot easier than buttonwillow (more forgiving of a track essentially), but that super long roval section where you get on the main straight is skeeeetchy. You'll likely hit a higher top speed than you've ever done before, so make sure your brakes are good before the weekend for sure.

Yeah just wanted to make sure you weren't in the beginner group since you have track experience.

Stock SS 138 then let off since it started pushing the front tires. Should give you an idea. You can proly go a little faster with the better gear ratio. And bigger tires to carry more speed through the turns before the straight.

I was entering turn one at about 125 carried 115 through turn 1 and 2.
