2012 Coronado event with HMSA, speedweek race Options

[brant]

still trying to recover from a fun event
the drive is long though...

about 3300 miles round trip towing...
a lot of seat time in that sense.

the cars were amazing though
many of the same ones from last year, and a few new ones also.

here are a ton of pictures:

Steve - I used to take my kids to the Miramar & El Toro airshows every year, & got in the habit of keeping those little yellow foam ear protectors in all cars' glove boxes. After awhile they both stopped using them & enjoyed the racket! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just grab a few extra 2 paks & stick them in your cars - free at the airshows & inexpensive at the pilot shops - try near you, maybe by Gilespie Field.

Brant - I went Sat & Sun, saw your car in the pits Sat & racing Sun., & got many of the same pix, but missed you in person. Looked like you had a fun run racing, as well as drooling through the pits! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

For those who haven't been to the Coronado Speedfest, it's a huge car show, vintage races, airshow, naval ships tour, etc. all rolled into one! The best bart is that us "regular non-racing folks" can walk the pits & get as up close & personal to the cars, drivers, crews & rigs in the pits, as Brant's pix show.

Highly recommended for a reasonable admission $25 1 day or $35 Sat/Sun if purchased in advance online, & IIRC most $$s go to charity anyway.
