The 2015 Festival of Speed was bigger and better than 2014. I counted 268 vehicles of which we have photographs. At 6:00 pm the automotive stampede began and cars crowded onto the golf course from both ends. They were relentless for about 3/4 hour. By 8:00 pm the mountain breeze brought cool and refreshing evening air. It was a pleasant way to spend a summer evening enjoying great vehicles and nice people on the most scenic golf course in the state. The variety and quality of the vehicles were terrific. A few cars were spotted cruising the boulevard and couldn't get in for which we apologize. We'll find a fix for this and expect the upward trend to continue in 2016. Many thanks to Jeff Greenland and Ron Christensen for taking photos.

There were 11 Ferraris, 4 Lamborghinis, 8 Lotuses, 18 Porsches, 5 Audis w/ three of them R8s, a bundle of Bimmers (mostly M3s), a C-class 6.3 AMG, 8 Cobras, 4 Aston Martins, 9 Jaguars, 14 Model A and T Fords, 4 Generations of Camaros, 12 Mustangs, a big variety of vehicles from Japan (NSX, Toyotas, Subarus, Evo, Nissan/Datsun, Mazdas, Hondas, and Infinity.), England (MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey, Minis) and all kinds of Detroit Iron (Rods, Classics, Muscles, Antiques) from GM, Ford, and Chrysler. Of note were the mid-century Caddy Eldos(2), Buicks(3), and a Studebaker Commander. Electrics included 3 Tesla Ss and a Fiskar Karma (gas/elec) On two wheels there were customs, bullet bikes, and a Harley-D. Mike T. landed his Jet Ranger helicopter again, Curt K. landed his Hughes UH-1(VN vets suffered flashbacks) and David H. buzzed us in his Cirrus SR22T. The Wasatch Area Modelers RC Aircraft Club came again. We also had big trucks from South Davis Metro Fire Co., and Swift trucking. Everyone I asked said that they had a great time. We're planning the 2016 show and have improvements in mind. Please plan on next year. I'm checking for July 1st or 2nd. More on that soon.
The Eaglewood Festival of Speed is much more than a car show...
JULY 1st, 2016, North Salt Lake hosts an impressive and eclectic display of vehicles on the best golf course along the Wasatch Front. We invite collectors, owners, restorers, and racers to gather from 7 pm to 9 pm along the 10th hole at Eaglewood to show off their wheeled and winged treasures to hundreds of admirers and fans. This is an informal event, so it's FREE, there is no registration, and it lasts long enough in the cool of the evening to get a good look at every vehicle and to make and renew acquaintances. Exhibitors please come at 6:00 pm.
Eaglewood Golf Course is located at 1110 Eaglewood Loop in North Salt Lake, UT 84054.
