A question we receive on a regular basis is about California's regulations on emissions testing for road vehicles. It seems quite a few people are confused as to what the current law says about the emissions status of motor vehicles.

Nissan DeltaWing Places 5th at Petit Le Mans Finale
Congratulations to the Nissan DeltaWing team as they finished 5th overall in last weekend's Petit Le Mans race held at Road Atlanta. Powered by a 1.6 liter 4 cylinder turbo and with roughly half the fuel of the larger prototype cars, it was impressive to see the DeltaWing start from the back of the grid and finish in the top 5!

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.
