[V8] Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix

[Andy Schor]

Thanks for mentioning this.  The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix has become a 
car-guy carnival for 10 days every July.  Friday, July 16th there is an HP 
Driver's School at BeaveRun www.beaverun.com race track along with the test 
& tune sessions for vintage racers.  Saturday and Sunday are qualifying and 
vintage racing at BeaveRun.  They also have autocross and karting.  There 
are several events throughout the week, then more vintage racing Saturday 
and Sunday (7/24-25) at Schenley Park.  This is the only race of its kind 
still held on (closed) public city streets.  Drivers really seem to like the 
course and there's always a wide variety of cool race cars.  If that isn't 
enough, there's a big international car show on the golf course at Schenley.

Last year BMW was featured marque and they drew a huge showfield.  There 
were also some very rare historic cars and an ex-David Hobbs 3 series IMSA 
race car.  I don't expect mother Audi to bring pre-war Auto Unions, but it 
would be great to see a good turnout of vintage Audis.  Next year P-cars 
will be featured.

The PVGP has a good web site www.pvgp.org with tons of photos and links to 
the events.  A volunteer staff (of 1200!) makes this event happen every 
year, there is no cost for spectators, procceds are from race/show entries, 
sale of mdse, and contributions.

It's a great event.  All proceeds from the entire PVGP go to charities like 
Autism Society and Allegheny Valley School.  I am actually on the Italian 
car show committee so I don't know what else is planned for the Audi Corral.
