from www.driftcircuit.org :

Drift Circuit has been invited back to host a second year of drifting exhibitions on the island tarmac in front of the grand stands at the Coronado Naval base's 12th annual Speed Festival during fleet week 2009. The annual race at the base, a long tradition for San Diego classic car enthusiasts happens this year on September 26-27th. Drifting is slated for a lunch time slot both days in addition to an end of day Drift Battle Royale after the other activities until sundown on Saturday. All the drifting on track is going to feature many of So. Cal.'s best drivers. We would like to invite drift enthusiasts, their friends and family to come out and support our military, and to help show our city that the sport of drifting has a strong following that would like to see the sport on a regular basis in San Diego. We had an overwhelming response to last years run, so this year drift circuit has 3X more track time than last year so we intend to put on a great show so drifting can become an important facet of this historic event. Please come and support the unique opportunity our sport has been given by the military, and let them know you'd like to see more! For those who aren't able to drift but are still proud to show off their ride, there will be a "car club corral" area near the track where your club can represent next to the Ferarri, Mini, Mustang, and Viper Clubs (just to name a few) that have a strong annual show at the Speed Festival.

This year’s premier car event of the season is racing to the San Diego island of Coronado, a small yet unique community in Southern California. When you are looking for somewhere fun to spend a day or weekend and a unique experience appropriate for all ages, look no further than the Coronado Speed Festival.

The 12th annual racing and military tribute event will be held on September 26th and 27th as part of Fleet Week San Diego, an organization that benefits the men and women of our military. The event is set against the stunning backdrop of San Diego Bay and will feature 280 of the world’s most unique and pedigreed machines at one of the most distinctive racecar locations - Naval Air Station North Island, the birthplace of Naval Aviation.

This is also the Navy’s annual opportunity to offer an open house to the public and offer individuals and families an opportunity to experience a military base as they never have. As part of this experience, event goers will have the opportunity to explore military equipment and talk to captains and crew members. Children will be able to possibly enjoy their face being painted by marines as well as several other children oriented activities. This is an event that the whole family can enjoy.

In the past years, over 20,000 people have packed the grandstands to view a spectator-friendly 1.6-mile course that is constructed in a matter of days on the runways and taxiways of Naval Air Station North Island. Car enthusiasts will be able to step back in time to enjoy auto racing’s rich history with tours of the racecar pits and speak with the drivers of these unique machines. Please visit http://fleetweeksandiego.org/coronadospeedfestival for this year’s complete racing schedule.
