Goodwood Festival of Speed: Dates for '08
While the auto show season is just beginning to ramp up, the Earl of March has announced the dates for next year's Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival. Those of you with extra frequent flyer miles or a very large couch collecting change can book your tickets now so you'll arrive in time for the festivities beginning on July 11th and running through the 13th. Although a theme hasn't been announced yet, feel free to create your own suggestions box in the comments below.
The Goodwood Revival, a trip back in time for both the vehicles and participants alike, will be held on September 19, 20 and 21, and marks the tenth anniversary of the retro-themed shindig. Expect the Earl to pull out all the stops.
Per usual, ticket sales are sold strictly in advance, so start snatching them up when they go on sale the 1st of November.

No comments on Goodwood? If that implies people are not familiar with Goodwood's events, that's an experiential gap well worth filling. The Goodwill Festival of Speed is one of best shows in the world to see--and hear!!--an amazing assortment of vehicles from the automobile's earliest days to its present, highest tech race iterations. Famous cars and drivers abound and the paddocks are wide open--you can talk with Derrick Bell, Stirling Moss, visiting American icons and see legendary cars from a foot away. In 30 years of car museum, car show, and motorsports gawking, I've seen nothing that exceeds Goodwood for quality viewing hours.

I have followed the Goodwood festival and before Speed Channel here in the states went 95% NASCAR I used to watch it. If we could only get Speed Channel to drop a few episodes of NASCAR driver's wife-interviews maybe they could bring this back along with some WRC.

Suggested Theme for this year? Everyone bring their fastest cars and Joe will drive them for you.
