Somehow, I managed to talk my wife into letting me escape the clutches of my 3 kids for 3 nights to attend the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance in Florida. What an amazing event! There was a very ecclectic mix of 300 motorcars present.

One of the classes was the beach racers. My friend from the Eastern shore brought out his 1922 Benz Mercedes aero car. Its a 19 liter total loss oiling system monster.

Evidently it was raced on the beaches of Denmark back in the 20's. 5 years ago they were invited to bring the car back to race on the beaches. They got that bad boy up to 120 mph on the beaches, some 80 plus years later! Pretty crazy.

Here are a couple of pictures from Amelia of the Rabbit and several other contraptions from Amelia.
