San Diego Speed Festival

[Spiffu]

This weekend was the San Diego Speed Festival, i.e the classic car car racing and massive car show bonanza.

I went today with some friends and took a good amount of pictures. I tried to take video of the races but the track view didn't make them turn out too well.

Any way, here are the pics.

NICE!!! :thumbup:

I can only imagine how epic all of those old Trans Am cars must have sounded. Yea, I was out of town this weekend so I had no chance to make it. Thanks for the documentation!

great post! really good stuff right there!

i love how all the classic cars show their motors and tubing and wiring and then the cadillac... wut where's the engine under all that plastic? :D

That pic of the Ford GT40's tire is very misleading. It's roughly a foot and a half wide. I would guess 500+ in a tire rating width. Absolutely monstrous.

One of my favorite parts of the day was seeing this older dude with a t-shirt reading on the back.

"God created vipers so that vette owners could have heroes."

I was like, this guy is gonna get in a fight some time today.

I wanted to get more pictures of the other groups of cars but they were either staging or out racing. The trans am group had just come in so I took the opportunity.
