Pittsburgh Vintage-July 10-19

This is on the calendar and we've mentioned it in the "Racing" forum but it's such a great general-interest event that I think it's worth mentioning here too.

The entire event runs from July 10 through July 19 (see below). It involves car shows, rallys and parties as well as the races.

I'm heading out tomorrow at 0-Dark-Thirty for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix at BeaveRun (July 10 to 12). Spridget #909 is already on the trailer and I've got spare axles, road food and sunscreen. All the "basics". Michael O. will be there and I'll sure I'll see other familiar faces.

This event is the kick-off for a week-long event.

The following weekend (July 18-19) is the amazing street race in Shenley Park in downtown Pittsburgh. Better than Monaco to my eyes and it's been going on since 1983 so it's now one of the longest running street races anywhere.

The event is used to support the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Allegheny Valley School so it's a great cause too.
