Festival of Speed, Sept 25-26

There is nothing better then watching a large group of muscle cars race around an airfield on an island. Us and two of our friends made yet another trek down to the San Diego area for the Coronado Speed Festival during Fleet Week.

For $15 we were able to watch 2 days of vintage car racing, see a huge car show, and drive several different cars. I drove 3, the least valuable of which was a 2011 Corvette Grand Sport ~$55,000, the next would be a 2011 E63 AMG ~$88,000, and last was a SL63 AMG at a cool $140,000.

The Corvettes were in an open area, thus you had to have a GM employee passenger to keep tabs on you :(

The Mercedes people had basically an auto-cross course set up. They put you in the car and told you the objective was to keep the cars moving...YEAH!!! Here are MORE PICTURES.
