Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 2009
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is a unique vintage racing event. It is not only America’s largest vintage race, but the only one run on city streets – the way sports car racing began. Funds raised help provide residential care, treatment and support for autistic and developmentally disabled individuals in the greater Pittsburgh area through the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Allegheny Valley School. Elvas, MGAs,MGTDs mix it up under hard braking in corner 9 Pace lap, notice row 3, the black MGB there is more |

Re: Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 2009
Along with the vintage racing, how about 500 British Cars and another 1000 International Cars!
This little AH 3000 is not stock. I left him or her a "how it was done" and hope they respond |

Re: Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 2009
Don,
Looks like you had some fun! That 3000 doesn't look like it's swapped with a "Blue Oval" ;-) Hope your efforts pan out with "How it was done", it would be interesting to see. People put that non blue oval swap into anything with four wheel I've noticed when searching around. Nice photo's of races and cars! |

Re: Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 2009
Something tells me that the engine/chassis mods on that black "B" are not within SVRA guidelines - nevertheless, looks like a decent event with some nice cars.

Wow. I can't get enough of these cars! Wish I could've been there. Perhaps Watkins Glen...

You've just got to find the wherewithall to get there, Curtis. It is, by far, the most enjoyable venue for vintage racing..... |

Re: Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 2009
The weekend before, Beaver Run Historic Races. Also a part of the PVGP!
And let's here it for Bill Tobin of Erie, PA in his rookie season driving his 1970 TR6. (mainly stock, but doing what most of us just think about) When I talked with him, I had to keep my sun glasses on because he never stopped grinning! |
