CA Festival of Speed at Fontana april 9-11

[sean_V8_914]

The California Festival of Speed is being held on April 9-11 at the Auto Club Speedway (formerly the California Speedway) in Fontana. This is a fabulous weekend of PCA Club Racing which brings some of the finest Porsche racers you’ll find anywhere. Teams like Greg Franz’s Pirelli Cup, James Sofronas with his Global Motorsports Group who last year ran the 24 Hours at Dayton, Kevin Buckler’s The Racers Group and Loren Beggs and 911 Design as well as many others. The American Le Mans Series is the only other series that comes close to this quality of Porsche racing.
In addition to the fabulous Club Racing, there are Time Trials, a Concours d’ Elegance, Vendor’s Row, Car Corrals, Festival Goodie Store and lunchtime Track Tours. We are again looking forward to Porsche Cars North America hosting an autocross style test drive opportunity.
We are also again having lunch time Track Tours which allow everyone an opportunity to drive the actual track (at parade lap speed). Whether it is in a Porsche or in the family station wagon with the family, everyone with a valid driver’s license is allowed on the track at the noon time break for a lap or two for $20.00 a car.
We are also making up corrals of like Porsches so contact us and we will let you know what is happening with your Porsche model. Or, if you belong to a club or group and would like to come together we will exempt the $10.00 parking fee for groups of 20 cars or more. We will be making up corrals on Saturday and Sunday. We are looking for all Porsche Registries and Special Interest groups - you are invited to make up a corral contact SuesanWay@pobox.com

The Festival relies on volunteer workers and will be again this year.
It is a small jump from attending to volunteering to work a 4-hour shift while at the event and volunteers don’t pay parking.

There is no entrance fee – just the $10.00 parking fee.

If you would like to participate or to get more information, please contact

Went on Sunday and with all the races that ran that day I must have seen at least 1 - 1.5 hours of full out racing. Visited the pits watched the wrenching all for the first time of these caliber cars. The cup cars were loud and beautiful, the 1:18 scale cars of the RS Spyder were as low as 20 bucks. I had a good time for my 5 buck entry fee. Just a lil disappointed a very small crowd turned out to display their cars and i need a camera with dig video capability. Hopeful next year will be better and here again cause i will.
