Auto Club Speedway-

For the past three years while working in the Commercial Bank, our group has hosted a Nascar fantasy camp for our clients, and I have been lucky enough to be a volunteer (Insert wink smiley here.) Actually, I have to say it is a nice chance to hang out with some of our clients and more importantly, get a free day off work to hang out in beautiful Fontana, CA.





For those of you who are unfamiliar with fantasy camps, they are basically a chance for all of those clients, predominantly men, to fufill their wildest fantasies in the area of sports by participating in various activities set up for that particular support. For Nascar, each participant gets to drive 8 laps around the track by themselves and then weave their way though an obstacle course. The latter part was new this year and I didn't even take a minute to go see it.







A couple of my co-workers all suited up and ready to start their engines! cheesy, i know..



One of the giveaways for our clients is a picture of them in front of one of the stock cars, all framed up and ready to take home at the end of the event. As we all know, budget constraints are everywhere, so being a volunteer, you don't get this luxury because a billion dollar bank can't possibly afford an additional frame and picture, right? However, as we can all appreciate, there are always ways around these types of policy constraints, right Neha? Ah, the beauty of being a volunteer!



Bored at the registration desk, I mean some of the details..





It really is pretty out in Fontana, in an uncivilized kinda way ;-)





We ended the day with a nice lunch and speaker in the garage. Fun day.



Here are those pics I was talking about..





Lastly a reflection pic of Neha!
