It was an early Friday :AM that brought the Garage Hour to Naval Air Station North Island: last week was the Coronado Speed Festival (formerly known as the Classics), one of the best vintage race events in America. Our being there was not option – it’s a must-attend event. The Garage Hour had vintage racer and BMW retailer Jeff Gerken (BMW of El Cajon) on-air with us September 14 to remind our listeners that it was coming, and he was such a hoot he’ll be back on-air soon.
San Diego garages are stuffed to the gills with a great assortment of excellent old race metal, and it shows at the Classics – more than 150 old race cars came out to the temporary airbase circuit at NASNI, representing race classes from IMSA, Can-Am, Trans-Am, NASCAR, SCCA, and dozens of other sanctioning bodies like the Carrera Panamerica, USAC and the like.
We’ll see you at the Classics… errr, the Speed Festival… next year.
