Poll: Would you do Coronado Speed Fest DE again?

[SDGT3]

Not to put a damper on things, BUT;
for $200 I'd rather do Fontana for a weekday than do it again. Lots of fun, but I'm over it.
Cajundaddy, which 944 chick are you reeling in anyway? When you pass me, we'll talk, until then....

Oh my... where is my popcorn...

Faster men have tried ...

Too true. I've been trying to catch her for two years.

Fontana would be easier to set up, manage and run for the DE chairs and it's a great track. Coronado was very warm at this time of year even thought it's basically on the water. Fontana would have been about 100+ degrees on the same day and the drive would have been longer for most of us. Glad we did it and hope we can again (for less $$) in the future.

Fontana....
- pick up trailer after work the day before.
- figure out how to load car in the dark on unfamiliar trailer without damage.
- wake up extra early
- drive 1-1/2 hours (on a good day)
- have tons 'o fun
- drive 1-1/2 hours (or 3-1/2 if the traffic sucks)
- unload in the dark
- return borrowed trailer next day after work (note: this event now takes up three days)
- fill up truck with more gas money than I would have saved by the reduced entry fee at Fontana

Coronado.....
- wake up
- drive to track
- have tons 'o fun
- drive home





you do the math

[John Straub]

Coronado, No travel...a PLUS, PLUS, PLUS

I also think the second time you do something like this...the bugs get worked out.

I.m with Jackie on Fontana. This event was cool, and having non-pcars to hound was cool, too. But Fontana had more seat time and was more fun overall. I would do both, obviously, but if I had to pick between the two I would choose Fontana.

My two cents.

Hey, everyone needs a goal right? So I am an optimist. I like a good challenge. See you at Spring Mountain Jackie.
As to the Fontana/Coronado question, I choose Fontana: Safer track, ideal facility for DE (duh), more time on track.

Here you go

I know it was horrible... but I miss Holtville. It was the Mescal of racetracks.

[John Straub]

Holtville was/is a lot like this only with no K-rail...really a safer place to teach driving.

But this was sure fun! I can't wait to do it again.

[Mike]

the parade laps were fun, count me in.

[davidsq]

Holtville

that's another story...
but i like the way you think.

coronado is another track ... (short track) i'l take any track if i can put it on my resume. k-rails, tire WALLS, what-ever...part of track,
leave it alone, learn it...love it (or not)

i don't think laguna will modify the cork-screw cause some can't get a good launch...

thanks for a great time...

I'm all in for another day at Coronado. It was a great mix of let-it-hang-out and be-careful, with some corners that could really come alive if you hit them well. Plus, it's so convenient. Sign me up. Martin's the man!

I would Deffinitly do it again. No need to change anything. I have no problems with walls or tires.

Just give me some more P Cars to EAT!!!!!!!!

At least there isn't curbing like in Tijuana. But Hey, I don't mind that either.

Good Times. I don't know if anyone else walked to the end of Straight on spectator side, but the Red Group looked and Sound Hot!
Lotta fun. Walls were a little serious, but then that's racing. Thanks Martin and DE team for all your hard work! Let's do it again.
