Today I drove down to Cornado. For those that do not know Cornado is an island that is connected by a big bridge near San Diego.

The island has the biggest American naval base. Each year they host a very special event called the Cornado Speed Festival.

This event is a huge opportunity for all classic car enthusiasts to bring their darling, and to watch some of the fastest vintage cars go around the track.

I had an opportunity to go up on a private stand for the employees which allowed a much better birds eye view of the action.

Beautiful day to be out to enjoy such great cars, and lots of enthusiasm for the vintage car scene.

Enjoy the photos :

My good friend Andre requested a rust free pancake motor car on a budget.

I had found exactly what he is looking for over the weekend! All original (including paint) last year pancake motor Westy!

Within 24 hours the deal was made, and the car was on the way over.

With a little help from my detailer the original paint came out very good!
