2010 participants information

Late last year the Fleet Week Foundation San Diego decided to put the Coronado Speed Festival event out to bid. The Foundation was looking for specific changes to the event to meet the requests the Navy had made. The Speed Festival was created to benefit the men and women of the military and the Navy has specific thoughts on what they are looking for to entertain our troops.

Today we announce that HMSA, have been chosen by the Fleet Week Foundation as the sanctioning body for the Coronado Speed Festival. This award is an honor and deeply appreciated. The opportunity to continue this event is exciting. HMSA will produce an event that will feel the same as in the past yet be different enough to meet the objectives and goals of the military.

One of the challenges we face this year is a scheduling conflict with the CSRG Charity Challenge held at Infineon Raceway on the same weekend. In an effort to avoid diminishing the participant count at both events, and to address the interests the Navy has expressed, we have chosen to focus on cars not normally seen at HMSA events. Our groups will be, stock cars, IMSA GTO thru 1991, Formula Atlantic thru 1980, Formula Ford thru 1972, production cars from 1956 thru 1966, Historic TransAm, FIA World Manufacturers Championship cars thru 1984, Sports Racing cars of the ‘50s and ‘60s.

We will be announcing the featured marque in a few days.

We are extremely excited about our involvement in the Coronado Speed Festival and look forward to seeing you there.
