Coronado Speed Festival, a Gathering of Vintage Cars from All Makes Part 1
 |
| The Coronado Speed Festival allows attendees a chance to view many vintage vehicles from pony cars to exotic speedsters. |
Squeak, squeak.... Vroooom! Braap, braap braap, braap. The priming of carburetors followed by the lumpy idle of a high lift camshaft actuating valves breaks the early morning silence. It is a soundtrack you will become familiar with as you walk the aisles past the various types of vintage cars lining the paddocks at Naval Base Coronado. As part of its Fleet Week program in appreciation to the troops serving our country, the military holds an annual "Race at the Base" aka Coronado Speed Festival which takes place over an entire weekend. The race course is setup at the airfield on the base, and this year marked the 15th time the event has been held.
