2015 CORONADO SPEED FESTIVAL WITH SAN DIEGO FLEET WEEK FOUNDATION
September 19 – 20, 2015
Naval Air Station North Island – San Diego, CA

For the final event of the expanded West Coast schedule, SVRA has partnered with the San Diego Fleet Week Foundation for the 18th annual Fleet Week Coronado Speed Festival. The weekend features three days of vintage racing, car shows, a pit crew challenge and military displays staged on the runways of the Coronado North Island Naval Air Station. The festival is the premier event of the Fleet Week activities, and serves both as an open house for the base and as tribute to the branches of the military with operations in San Diego.

The twisty, 1.7-mile course utilizes runways and taxiways of the Naval Air Station and provides a unique challenge for competitors, as well as exciting racing for the spectators. In addition, a special Feature Race for NASCAR Stock Cars is certain to be the highlight of the weekend.
This unique event has become a very popular vintage event on the West Coast, and SVRA is committed to making the 2015 festival the biggest and best ever. The Coronado Speed Festival is an invitational race.

Currently SVRA Groups 3 and 6 have been filled for 2015 and further entries for those groups will be placed on a wait list.

The event is just 10 minutes from my home but our IMSA GTO cars were not invited this year.
Instead this year Formula Fords have replaced our 600 to 700hp silhouette cars.
See you in the car corral with something...
Last year was a blast starting from last due to a repair the night before.

Local Leucadia resident, Erich Wilms' 1967 911S:





I didn't get the owner/driver's name, but its the first time at Coronado. A lot of sorting out going on . . .
