For those that may be considering coming to the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance or who enjoy vintage sports car racing, this year is the initial year for the Amelia Island Vintage Gran Prix. It will be held on March 17-20, the weekend following the Concours. At this point I'm told that approximately 250 cars have registered for the races.
There will also be vintage motorcycle racing, with about 50 motorcycles registered so far, and vintage aircraft will also be present and, I understand, offering rides (for a fee, I assume). The races will be held on the runways and taxiways of the Fernandina Beach Amelia Island Airport.
