The 2009 Daytona Turkey Rod Run

A Thanksgiving Tradition That's Hard to Beat!The Turkey Run has been attracting automotive fans from around the country and around the world for the last thirty-six years. Starting out as a small gathering of the Daytona Beach Street Rods in the early Seventies, the event has outgrown a half-dozen venues and now regularly fills the infield of the Daytona International Speedway over the four-day Thanksgiving weekend. Although we've always enjoyed the event, we don't want to mislead you. This show is certainly not limited to vehicles of the Blue Oval persuasion. With 4,810 vehicles on display however, you will often see a bigger variety of Fords at the Turkey Run then you will at many Ford-only shows. Everything from modern Cobras to vintage Deuce Coupes were on display, with restored originals, pro streets, one-of-a-kind customs, Ford-based kit cars, and more adding to the fun. Wear comfortable shoes if you want to see them all. But that's only one third of this event's attraction.inline_mediumwraptextrightEveryone gathers Friday and Saturday afternoon, hoping to hear their number called for the door prize giveaways.26523551/eventcoverage/mdmp_100108_2009_daytona_turkey_rod_runmdmp_100108 _01+2009_turkey_rod_run+.jpgTrue
