The Motor Racing Heritage Association raised funds to the replica. The park was dedicated March 28, 2013, exactly 110 years after the first race. The garage houses replicas of Bullet #1 and the Pirate automobiles. Tragically, the Ormond Garage caught fire and burned to the ground in 1976, destroying one of auto history's most important landmarks as well as antique cars owned by local residents who used the Garage as a museum. Sadly, all that remains of the original garage is a historic marker, in front of SunTrust Bank, built on its ashes on East Granada Boulevard.
