This week on the Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with Jeff O’Neill to discuss how he transformed a passion for motorsports, wine, hospitality, and historic racing into one of the most exciting automotive events in the country: Velocity Invitational.
Jeff shares the behind-the-scenes story of launching the event, the challenges of creating a world-class experience from scratch, and his vision for blending historic race cars, modern hypercars, fine dining, wine, and luxury lifestyle experiences into one unforgettable weekend.
We also discuss:
The inspiration behind Velocity Invitational
Building an event that appeals to both hardcore enthusiasts and newcomers
Historic racing and the future of car culture
What makes a truly great automotive experience
Favorite moments and standout cars from past events
The importance of hospitality and atmosphere
Where the event is headed next
If you love collector cars, motorsports, luxury experiences, or the stories behind ambitious automotive ventures, this is an episode you will not want to miss.
