The Coronado Speed Fest at North Island brought the best of the past in race cars and drivers to San Diego. Thanks go out to Dennis Darnall for once again organizing our club's Corral Pass participation. A bonus feature this year where the off road trucks from stadium events that were a big hit. Viewing of over 300 cars from other car clubs, roaming the pits and speaking to drivers, examining the under hood secrets of these legendary race cars and watching the bumper to bumper action on the 1.7 mile race course were highlights of this beautiful day in Coronado.
