Keynote speaker: Author/Racer B.S. Levy

Author/Racer Burt "BS" Levy is well known on the vintage scene as a journalist, color announcer, driving instructor, novelist, and particularly for his uncanny ability to "BS" his way into famous old racing cars on the thoroughly transparent pretext of "writing magazine stories about them."

Levy is by far best known for his novels, The Last Open Road and its' sequel, Montezuma's Ferrari. Levy's books have now established themselves as genuine classics. Levy will be on hand this weekend at the gathering in Florence, and he will be available to chat with fans and sign copies of his books.
