JOIN US THIS WEEKEND!     We'll be burnin' gas and goin' fast as some of the finest racing machines ever built gather for the only event of its kind in Central Florida! Saturday, November 13 - Sunday, November 14, 2010 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Join us at Roar n' Soar as we welcome many special guests, legendary racing machines and much more: Meet World Water Record Speed Holder Ken Warby (who holds the record at 317.6 miles per hour) and John Haggin, Owner and Founder of AMF Offshore Racing. Honor our troops in a BIG WAY and help attempt a Guinness World Record at the same time. Write a personal message to our troops and contribut to an effort to make the World's Largest Yellow Awareness Ribbon. The best of the best in aviation perform precision aerial maneuvers featuring the "World's Greatest Aircraft Collection"™ including the Grumman Duck, P51-C and T-6 Texan. Challenging their full-size counterparts, giant-scale model remote control aircraft will strut their stuff in their own demonstration of formation flying, precision aerobatics and aerial combat maneuvers. A team of powered paragliders will compete in a "kiting" contest to see who can fly their glider the longest distance. For more "grounded" extreme sports, the Red Trail Racing BMS Bike Team will perform gravity-defying trick and stunts, led by Transworld Ride BMX amateur master winner Tyler Gilliard from Lakeland, Fla. Classic car lovers will enjoy a stroll through the Rare, Antique, Classic & Exotic Car Show, marveling at classic and one-of-a-kind luxury automobiles including Jaguar, Austin-Healy, Ferrari, BMW and Porsche. Many of these stunning cars feature the horsepower and torque to kick up some dust in the sanctioned Jaguar Slalom competition, in which drivers of all types of classic cars will test their mettle by maneuvering through a cone-lined course on the hangar tarmac. A jet car is also scheduled to be fired up thanks to Team De Witt Racing. One of Dale Earnhardt's original and most famous championship cars - the "Pass in the Grass" - will make a rare weekend appearance courtesy of private owner Bill Tower, Plant City, Fla. The Classic Race Boat Association is hosting as many as 50 of the most elegant and powerful race boats ever built in exhibition fly-bys on the mile-and-a-half-course along scenic Lake Agnes. Boats and their drivers will be available between runs to meet with guests and take photos. A special "American Fighter Aces" Living History Symposium will be held honor of the country's veterans. Meet WWII original "Top Guns" on both days as they share their daring tales of aerial warfare in an up-close and personal forum, followed by an autograph and meet-and-greet session. Browse and purchase award-winning artwork from nationally acclaimed aviation artist and pilot Sam Lyons, who will be exhibiting at the event. Lyons' prints and paintings can be found at the Blue Angels headquarters, The Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, Air Force Museum, Naval Aviation Museum and Royal Air Force Museum.
