Sanctioned Events
Classic Motorsports also actively supports classic car clubs and events. The magazine is the title sponsor of the Classic Motorsports Mitty, a classic car event held annually at the Road Atlanta race track in Braselton, Georgia. Historic Sportscar Racing sanctions The Mitty’s vintage racing, while sister publication Grassroots Motorsports hosts an event in the infield called Speedfest.
In March 2010, Classic Motorsports hosted its first Orange Blossom Tour. The event was billed as a back-roads classic car tour through Old Florida. Between its starting point at the Amelia Island Concours and its 12 Hours of Sebring destination, the drive featured several stops. These included the Brumos Porsche Collection, an eco-tour on the Dora Canal, and the Castillo de San Marcos fort. The tour raised nearly $2000 for the Amelia Island Foundation to benefit Hospice.

Famous quotes containing the words sanctioned and/or events:
“I really cannot know whether I am or am not the Genius you are pleased to call me, but I am very willing to put up with the mistake, if it be one. It is a title dearly enough bought by most men, to render it endurable, even when not quite clearly made out, which it never can be till the Posterity, whose decisions are merely dreams to ourselves, has sanctioned or denied it, while it can touch us no further.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“On the most profitable lie, the course of events presently lays a destructive tax; whilst frankness invites frankness, puts the parties on a convenient footing, and makes their business a friendship.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
