Claimed to be the largest car show and swap meet in the South-east United States, the Turkey Run is put on the week of Thanksgiving every November in Daytona Beach Florida. This year it has ran from Thursday the 26th, to tomorrow, Sunday the 28th.
The scale of the event is, well extremely large. It spills out of Daytona International Speedway, where the event is actually held, to the beach side highway A1A. I'm pretty sure it started out as a Muscle and Classic car event, but it's turned in to much more than that. Fords and Ferraris, Vipers and Volkswagens you name it, it's probably parked somewhere, waiting to be admired. The bread and butter of the show is still American cars, but there is something for just about ever kind of automotive enthusiast at this event. Forgive me, I know I've posted a few pictures in the "Did you see anything cool thread", but I thought perhaps if I posted them in one thread, it would be better organized, and I could answer any questions better. So, on with the show!
Friday.
Welcome to Daytona Beach, Florida.
This is one of the two tunnel entrance/exits into Daytona International Speedway. This happens to be turn 4, the other being in turn 1.
So, it was my fault, I arrived after the infield closed, so I was only able to get shots of the cars coming out of the speedway, still though, there were plenty of neat cars to be seen.
Starting with a few possibly home build creations, if these aren't your thing, bear with me, there are many different kinds of cars I shot. Also, forgive my point and shoot camera and myself for some of the poorer photos, I tried, I really want to show just how cool this event is to people who aren't able to make it here. This is the best I could manage.
I have no idea what kind of car this is, however I do think it's cool.
Bubble gum and chicken wire.
On to some Muscle, Pony and classic cars.
Camaro
Olds 442
Not sure what it is, but very cool.
Buch of little old ladies driving this Mustang.
Custom pickup truck, very nice color.
Camaro Indianapolis Pace-car.
'Cuda
MG? Triumph?
Some nice cars I had seen on the way out / New cars.
Gumball Rally GT-R.
2010 SS Camaro.
GT-500 Mustang.
Supra Turbo
Chevelle with a blower, sounded like thunder.
Nomad?
Porsche 914, that had Carrera down the side??? Might belong in the questionable mod thread...
Due to traffic, we could not get beachside, so that was the end of day one, somewhat disappointing, but I promise day 2 is much better !
