2. The annual Lake Mirror Classic Auto Festival takes place

08/10/2012 Annual Lake Mirror Classic Auto 2
Festival – Lakeland FL

3. In it’s 13th year, this is one of my favorite events drawing a crowd of
about 35,000 people wandering around Lake Mirror viewing a field
of about 600 vehicles. It is considered as one of the best shows in
the Southeast. There is no doubt in my mind that visiting Lake
Mirror Classic will mesmerize car enthusiasts around Lakeland and
the country.
The honorary chairman for this year’s Festival is British race car
driver Brian Redman, he is known for his Professional-racing career
that includes three-time winner of the 24 hours of Daytona and two-
time winner of the 12 hours of Sebring. During his career he was a
factory team driver for
Ford, Ferrari, Porsche, Cooper, Williams, Chaparral, Jaguar, Chevro
n, and McLaren. He has been inducted into multiple Hall of Fames
to include the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.
