I'm trying to remember who authored the thread about attending fleetweek last year at coronado with a 914.
I'm thinking it would be a great fall event to end this upcoming 2011 season for dad and I, but would love to talk further with an attendee... thanks for any pointers brant |

attended the event since it's beginnings as both crew and spectator, can't actually race because of entry protocol (which appears to be losening a bit) requiring some aspect of entries to have a minimum degree of past history/pedigry aligned with the road race venue. You should check into this before getting too involved. It is a great show though and well worth the effort even if just spectating.

I kinda remember john rogers saying that when the event management changed back in 2009 they loosened up the ability to enter
I attended the very first one and really liked spectating... someone got invited in a 914 last year and I can't remember whom I know a couple of buddies just got invited last week with their formula super vee's... so I'm hoping to get a production car in brant |

I want to do a few fun and far away events with my father this would be something special and probably the "farthest tow" we've ever had. a real "big time" event for my dad to enjoy. I'm hoping to gain a bit of input and maybe a kind word or clue as to how to get in.... do you have any contacts or advice for me? I'd be a friendly competitor, not looking for TTOD looking to have fun and make a memory with my father is all. can you direct me towards the registar to see if I could be enrolled as a "friendly" participant? It would be a big family memory for my dad. any direction or help would be greatly appreciated. brant Attached thumbnail(s)

starts with joining HMSA
- pay the dues and get the entry form they have been taking sixers that loosely meet 69-72 FIA class rules and also later GTU sixers for the past 3 yrs, & getting looser all the time it apparently only has to "look right", not to actually be an original or have a genuine race histroy as is the casr in some other historic venues 2 of those cars were at Wine Country last week - one was a '76 body conversion GT clone, the other was a oem six, made conversion into a GT both running 9" racing slicks all around I have pics of those, as well as pics & links of the past years . |
