When we arrived at Fonda Speedway we probably missed the most important clue printed atop the speedway sign as to what we were in for the next morning...
Fonda is a fair grounds track run on Saturday nights. When we asked where we could park our motorhome, we were told we could park up near the grandstands, a great spot, but needed to move after the show was over to the back near the fence, and very near a railroad track where trains would be running on a half hour schedule all night...
That seemed strange as the entire area was open and within the same fenced in area. Anyway, we moved after the show and then the next morning, I awoke at 6:00AM to the sound of tractor trailer trucks parking just outside the bedroom window.
The circus, or whatever you call it, was arriving and setting up between us and the exit. We hurried to slide-in the bus, unleveled and drove out just in time. The county fair was starting that night, some information we could have used the day before.
