Exclusive interview: Why is Hagerty acquiring so many events?

A great interview with McKeel, and hope for the future of the Classic Car hobby. I was heartened to hear that Hagerty bought the top tier Concours events like Greenwich and Amelia. Perhaps now they will begin to broaden the tent at these events and include marques that traditionally have been excluded ie: (Japanese) because, after all we aren't in the museum business- and the cars on the field should reflect the interests of all generations.

Good point. Some have adopted Japanese cars, but not all of them. I judged a class of Japanese race cars at Amelia a few years ago, and some of my fellow judges asked me how I drew short straw to have to judge that class. I thought. had hit the lottery!

In reply to Tim Suddard :

Thanks for acknowledging the importance of Japanese cars Tim. You already know - you didn't draw the short straw, you drew the future...well done.

Thank you. I enjoy doing this stuff and using my access to some of these people to share it with everyone
