The 2009 Coronado Speed Festival race is fast approaching and we want you back for this exciting event! This annual celebration is the San Diego Fleet Week Foundation’s marquee event. It’s free for active duty military and their dependents and it’s the general public’s opportunity to come aboard an active military installation and thank the men and women of the military while viewing static displays, fly over’s, and going on ship tours.

I am looking forward to the race this year as we have made some changes to the race categories.

The 2009 Race Categories Will Be:

1. Formula Ford (1969-1972)
2. Sports Racing Cars (1950’s)
3. FIA World Manufacture Cars (Thru 1984)
4. Historic Trans-Am (1966-1972)
5. Historic Formula Atlantic (Thru 1980)
6. Stock Cars (1988-Present)
7. IMSA GTO (Thru 1991)
8. Production Cars (Thru 1966)

We will also have an exhibition show from the drifters and stunt motorcycle crew.

I am trying to be ‘green’ and instead of killing trees to send you information I am sending it to you over email.
