\u201cThe Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash,\u201d<\/a> and was run four times in the 70s (\u201971, \u201972, \u201975 & \u201979) from New York City and later Darien, Connecticut, across the U.S. to the Portofino Inn at Redondo Beach, California. There were no official \u201crules;\u201d the quickest time won. Other participants slated to appear at the seminar arePete Brock, Anatoly Arutunoff, Bill Brodrick, Oscar Kovaleski, and Amelia\u2019s Chief Judge William Jeanes, who drove a Travco motor home.<\/p>\n\u201cI have a feeling this is going to be one of the most entertaining seminars we will ever do,\u201d says Bill Warner, Amelia Island Concours d\u2019Elegance founder and co-chairman. \u201cFor years, professional race drivers were discouraged from participating in these kinds of events because they were both illegal and viewed as irresponsible. In addition to making a mockery of the fifty-five-mile-an- hour speed limit that was in force at the time, it was just plain fun and the press ended up loving it.\u201d Warner drove in the \u201975 race in a 1971 Porsche 911T, which he bought new and still owns today.<\/p>\n
The Gurney\/Yates winning Ferrari will also be on hand for the seminar. The car was owned at the time by Ferrari aficionado Kirk White, who \u201cloaned\u201d the vehicle to them fully aware of its intended use. The car now resides in the collection of Bruce McCaw.<\/p>\n
The Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance 2011 will be held March 11-13 on the 10th and 18th fairways of The Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach adjacent to The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island. The show\u2019s Foundation has donated nearly $1.7 million to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, Inc. and other charities on Florida\u2019s First Coast since its inception in 1996.<\/p>\n
