MOTOR RACING HERITAGE ASSOCIATION-Don't You All Want to be a Friend of the Birthplace of Speed?! Help the Garage Project!
You know Rockefeller used to leave Manhattan to go down to The Casements-here is the latest on what is going on in Ormond Beach!
From Peachy's friend Ron, President of the Motor Racing Heritage Association:
In March 2010 the Motor Racing Heritage Association, Inc. celebrated the final chapter of the centennial racing festivals that began in 2003 commemorating the pursuit of the Land Speed Records on Ormond Beach. During that time we worked with the City of Ormond Beach to established a “Birthplace of Speed” Park at the corner of A1A and Granada Boulevard. The City purchased two replica race cars that represented the first vehicles competing in the first sanctioned race. Unfortunately, the harsh ocean environment took its toll and the cars were removed from the park. Without a solution to the problem these cars have stayed in storage. Now MRHA has stepped forward with a creative solution, and you have an opportunity to help make it happen.
The Motor Racing Heritage Association has received permission from the Ormond Beach City Commission to construct a replica of the historic Ormond Garage that will house the replica race cars. The original Ormond Garage burned down in 1976. Because of the park’s location, we must lay a new foundation and construct a building that will withstand hurricane force winds. The construction phase of the project will cost $65,000.
The historical significance of the Ormond Garage cannot be overstated. Henry Flagler ordered its construction in the summer of 1904, after the arrival of William K. Vanderbilt and his entourage at the Winter Speed Tournament held earlier in January. Flagler saw the potential tourism business these tournaments represented. It was the central site in the pursuit of all the Land Speed Records including Sir Malcolm Campbell in 1935. After that it became a local landmark and the gathering point for the Ormond Beach Antique Auto shows.
