With apologies, here's my take. Pay no attention to your prejudices regarding
Pittsburgh, it's a vibrant city with a lot to offer. Schenley park is a
fantastic place to see racing the way it used to be. And Beaver Run is a
wonderful track as well (just don't ask me about the Viper I looped on the
uphill to the main straight} Just go and have fun. You'll thank me for
it!
The VSCCA which sanctioned the historics in the past has had some issues with
trying to put on a race in the streets of Springfield, MA:

Ralph,
I will be driving my BT7 tricarb to the PVGP and British Car Day again
this year. I have heard concern from some of the competitors in the
races of the change in sanctioning bodies for the races at Schenley
Park. As a spectator I would hate to see the prewar cars and less
powerful, smaller cars disappear from the proceedings in favor of larger
more powerful cars. The race course itself is actually best suited to
the smaller cars and lower speeds that they
run. Though I can see the
need and desire to have some newer cars involved who have been
heretofore excluded.
What is the official line on this?
Charlie
