Speedfest 2012 is here! In San Diego at the Naval Air Station on Coronado Island in the bay, both Saturday and Sunday... here's a quick look at what I saw today

fuel cooler canister in the back seat

This is the only time I've seen scales in the pits... huh!

 Using the El Camino's truck ability to pull their race car!

Looks like the Von Dutch Flying eyeball... Just saying

A Bluebird. You may have heard of them

Red white and blue racing tape... clever!
