Various official San Diego sources state that San Diego has the second largest population of military personnel in the free world, behind the Arlington/District of Columbia area. Some estimates put the total military population at 225,000. It's no surprise, then, that the various cities here in San Diego County like to honor the military personnel who live in their cities, and that brings us to Fleet Week San Diego (actually the whole month of September) and the Coronado Speed Festival.

The 13th Annual Fleet Week Coronado Speed Festival takes place September 25 and 26. The parking lot opens at 7:30 a.m., gates open at 8:00 a.m., and races take place from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The Coronado Speed Festival features vintage cars racing in various classes:

• Race 1 - 1952 - 1959 Sports and Production cars - Drum Brake
• Race 2 - 1953 - 1966 Production cars under 2000cc
• Race 3 - 1962 - 1972 Sports Racing and Formula Cars under 2000cc
• Race 4 - 1969 - 1980 Sports Racing and Formula Cars under 2000cc
• Race 5 - 1959 - 1966 Production cars - Disc Brake
• Race 6 - 1965 - 1988 FIA Manufacturer Championship Cars
• Race 7 - 1962 - 1966 Productions cars over 2500cc
• Race 8 - 1966-1972 Historic Trans-AM
• Race 9 - Historic NASCAR

The Coronado Speed Festival is also known as "The Race at the Base" since it takes place on Coronado Island, location of the North Island Naval Complex. The Naval Complex is where the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan, the U.S.S. Nimitz, and the U.S.S. Carl Vinson aircraft carriers are stationed, and it holds the official designation as the Birthplace of Naval Aviation. This is one of the few times when the public is allowed to tour the Naval Base.

Tens of thousands of people show up for the Coronado Speed Festival, and tickets go fast, so log on to Fleet Week San Diego to buy tickets and get more information.
