Vintage Grand Prix!


Just wanted to pass this along to the Spridget community:  MG has been named
arque of the Year at next year's Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.  This is a
uge honor (considering that the purpose of PVGP is to raise money for
harity and they always pick marques that are currently producing
utomobiles) and a BIG DEAL.
For those unfamiliar with Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, it is the only
intage sports car racing event running on public streets.  Specifically,
he course winds it's way up, down and around beautiful, old, wooded
chenley Park, with the races being the centerpiece of a huge party
elebrating vintage automobiles.  It's a family-friendly event (my wife and
 brought our kids..the youngest at age 3 months..to the event every year
nd now they come back with their kids), with something to amuse all of
hem, whether they really like cars of not.
With PVGP now acting as their own race sanctioning body, the 60s and 70s era
roduction cars (Spridgets, Bs, etc.) can now race at Schenley Park.  There
ave always been a bunch of T-series MGs, as well as MGAs racing there, but,
ow we are seeing MGBs, and Spridgets in respectable numbers, as well as
inis (REAL Minis, I mean), Sunbeams, Lotus (Loti?), Lola, Elva, etc.
The region within a 100 mile radius of Pittsburgh offers some great
ecreational opportunities (bicycling, camping, canoeing, kayaking, white
ater-rafting), B&B lodging, historical sites/museums, Spridget-driving
oads, etc.  You could spend two weekends watching vintage racing in
ittsburgh, while roaming the surrounding area for the week in between....or
ou could attend any/all of the PVGP-related events in and around Pittsburgh
uring the week between race weekends.
The dates for the Schenley Park segment of PVGP are July 21 and 22, 2012.
