Take a break from the high-speed action on the track and check out the latest innovative products, high-tech exhibits, racing paraphernalia, games and much much more.

GARAGE TOURS

Unlike most racing events, every fan is encouraged to walk through the garage area and watch as the racecars go through their final inspections before hitting the track.

You can tour the pits on your own or take a guided tour led by the drivers themselves. The owners and drivers encourage this rare opportunity for all interested from the casual fan to the gear head.

CAR SHOW

Support our troops and show your car! The Third Annual Car Show to benefit the Navy’s Morale Welfare Recreation - MWR will be held both days. Awards presented both days! An application to enter is available under the Car Show link.

MILITARY DISPLAYS

A multitude of current Navy jets and helicopters, special boats and hovercraft, as well as vintage aircraft, will be on display at the entrance of the event, with pilots eager to answer questions, show you, and allow access into the aircraft. This is a perfect opportunity to take pictures and to ask any questions you might have.
