Why wait until the Ritz-Carlton show field opens to celebrate the Amelia concours weekend?

Our annual Classic Motorsports Amelia Island Kickoff presented by Sunoco returns on March 6, the Friday before The Amelia concours on Saturday.

What can you expect? 150 must-see cars, from legendary collector cars to iconic race machines, and just about everything else in between.

There’ll also be numerous celebrity judges and several prizes up for grabs. Previous judges have included the likes of Wayne Carini, Tom Cotter and Bobby Rahal.

It all takes place at Amelia Island’s Main Beach Park, located just a few miles north of the Ritz-Carlton, starting at 1:00 p.m. on March 6.

Spectator entry is free, while vehicle entry, limited to 150 preregistered cars, is $45. All cars must preregister.

The Amelia Island Kickoff is presented by Sunoco, with car blocks presented by National Parts Depot, Michelin, The Paddock Classic Cars, in association with Moss Motors, Lear Chemicals, Hagerty Drivers Club, Griot’s Garage and Xenex Motorsports, with a special thank you to the city of Fernandina Beach for making this event possible.
