Event Information

The Hot Rodding for Heroes Classic Auto Tour and Show mission is to turn our passion for cars into local support for our nation's veterans. It has been designed with the principals of featuring our favorite parts of owning a classic car; driving it and sharing it with the public while benefitting a tremendous charity, the Veteran's Bridge Scholarship. Available to Santa Fe College and the University of Florida students, this provides returning veterans funds to bridge the time between their discharge and when their veteran's benefits arrive.

The Hot Rodding for Heroes Classic Auto Tour and Show will assemble at the Santa Fe College parking lot at 9:00am. This portion is open to tour registrants only please. We will leave there at 10:00am on our police escorted 30 mile tour of Alachua County, ending in the Haile Plantation Village Center. Arrival time will be around 11:00am. Along the route we'll see area landmarks, buildings, and monuments, as well as area residents out in force.

The Hot Rodding for Heroes Classic Auto Tour and Show is proudly hosted by two of the most picturesque and charming settings that North Florida has to offer: the Haile Plantation Village Center and the Haile Plantation Golf and Country Club. The show portion will start with the tour's arrival at 11:00am, which is open free to the public. Cars will be distributed throughout the Village Center and Golf Course, along with area vendors, food, live music, and a host of other amenities.
