The California Festival of Speed is being held on April 9-11 at the Auto Club Speedway (formerly the California Speedway) in Fontana. This is a fabulous weekend of PCA Club Racing which brings some of the finest Porsche racers you’ll find anywhere. Teams like Greg Franz’s Pirelli Cup, James Sofronas with his Global Motorsports Group who last year ran the 24 Hours at Dayton, Kevin Buckler’s The Racers Group and Loren Beggs and 911 Design as well as many others. The American Le Mans Series is the only other series that comes close to this quality of Porsche racing.
In addition to the fabulous Club Racing, there are Time Trials, a Concours d’ Elegance, Vendor’s Row, Car Corrals, Festival Goodie Store and lunchtime Track Tours. We are again looking forward to Porsche Cars North America hosting an autocross style test drive opportunity. We are also again having lunch time Track Tours which allow everyone an opportunity to drive the actual track (at parade lap speed). Whether it is in a Porsche or in the family station wagon with the family, everyone with a valid driver’s license is allowed on the track at the noon time break for a lap or two for $20.00 a car. We are also making up corrals of like Porsches so contact us and we will let you know what is happening with your Porsche model. Or, if you belong to a club or group and would like to come together we will exempt the $10.00 parking fee for groups of 20 cars or more. We will be making up corrals on Saturday and Sunday. We are looking for all Porsche Registries and Special Interest groups - you are invited to make up a corral contact SuesanWay@pobox.com The Festival relies on volunteer workers and will be again this year. It is a small jump from attending to volunteering to work a 4-hour shift while at the event and volunteers don’t pay parking. There is no entrance fee – just the $10.00 parking fee. If you would like to participate or to get more information, please contact SuesanWay@pobox.com Attached thumbnail(s) |

Pic of the 914s lining up for the parade laps back in 2008; our guide let us fly. I think we had to have 20 cars pre-registered to get our own laps.

Lots of cool cars at this event. Some fun racing and maybe a chance to drive the track yourself. If you're in So Cal you gotta go to this event. If you like club racing you won't be disappointed.
Cheers, Elliot |
