More than 15,000 people attended the Chrysler Classic Speed Festival on North 
Island Navel Air Station, Coronado, CA Nov 22-23.
The "first-time" event exceeded expectations, a spokesman said. Officials 
would have considered the weekend of vintage racing a success if only 6,000 
fans had turned out.
The show, a fund-raiser for the Plymouth Holiday Bowl, will go on next year, 
but dates have not been set.  The Navy received only two informal noise 
complaints and of the 150 cars racing there were only two, minor driver-error 
accidents.
Several modifications are being planned for next year's event.
"There were some obvious things we need to improve, and nothing that came up 
that was a total suprise," said race organizer Steve Earle.
"From the participants' standpoint, the track surface had a lot of rocks and 
debris that came up, and theat can be fixed.  From the spectators' 
standpoint, we need more bathrooms and more food and beverage locations and 
not just in one location. We definitely need more grandstand seating, which 
we can do with no problems. And we need to make track access easier," Earle 
said.
