Planning tips
- Sunday, November 1 is the Concours; Saturday, October 31 is the Car Club Showcase — different tickets.
- Island lodging and bridge traffic are the real logistics. Stay on-island if you can; morning crossings stack.
- Same autumn pocket as SEMA week in Las Vegas (Nov 3–6) — do not try to stack coasts casually.
- Reconfirm shuttle and parking products on hhiconcours.com before you assume golf-cart access is free.
