Concours in the Hills returns Feb. 10
Posted
The fifth annual Concours in the Hills returns Saturday, Feb. 10, to Fountain Park with a new charity partner.
Sponsor Scuderia Southwest has chosen Phoenix Children’s Hospital as its exclusive beneficiary and expects to raise $100,000.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The rain date is Feb. 17.
Scheduled to open the show featuring more than 600 cars will be two-time Indy 500 driver Arie Luyendyk; Indy 500 champion driver Paul Tracy; Lyn St. James, one of a handful of women who have raced at the Indy 500; Bob Bondurant, founder of Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, and Harley Cluxton, owner of the Mirage Racing Team.
Organizer Peter Volny said the Vietnam-era Cobra Gunship helicopter will be displayed along with an estimated 30 Cobra sports cars.
A special feature will be an 1897 Bugatti and a 1913 Bugatti on both sides of a contemporary Bugatti Veyron. Two rare, expensive LaFerraris, a hardtop and Spider (convertible) will be displayed. Some very rare Jaguars valued at millions of dollars each also will be there.
Awards will be given to Best Import, Best Domestic and Best of Show. The Ferrari Club of America Desert Region will conduct its own judging and other clubs may do so also.
Last year 647 vehicles and 71 sponsors/exhibitors participated, said Volny. Attendance was estimated at more than 15,000. The event raised in excess of $90,000 for the Boys & Girls Club, that year’s charity partner.
The event is free for spectators. Owners of vehicles pay a minimum $60 donation to exhibit. A few sponsor/vendor spaces are still available; apply at concoursinthehills@cox.net.
Scuderia Southwest is the state’s largest car club for high performance, exotic and collector cars. The objective is to bring together owners to enjoy these vehicles and meet new friends who share this passion.
The club organizes the monthly Scottsdale Motorsports gathering at Scottsdale 101 Shopping Center.
