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...

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! |
