As we all look at our calendars and plot out what events we are going to I realize that most of you, like myself, will be thinking a lot harder about where we go and what we do. The rising cost of fuel and everything else will cause most of us to stop and think for a few moments. SO, given that I am going to tell you why you must put the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association/VRG Historic Races at BeaveRun on your calendar. This is a must event whether you race on the track, do slalom or Solo II events or just like to come out with your sports or vintage car and watch! As most of you know this event, in conjunction with all of the other PVGPA events, raises money for our charities, the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and the Allegheny School. Over the past 25 years we have given these charities over 2.5 million dollars ( not just raised that amount but actually given into the hands of the charities that much money) BeaveRun is entering it's 5th year now and besides kicking the festivities off we have grown into an event that is hard put to be equaled anywhere. With the years of experience that the PVGPA brings on board and all of the talent and expertise of the VRG we have a group that puts on some of the best and safest racing I have experienced anywhere. Add all of the rest, great people working at the track, paddock, registration, etc you have a package hard to beat. We offer something for everyone that wants to come! For those racing on the track ample track time with plenty of actual races on a track that while so safe it is a great place for a novice, difficult to the point that a slight slip and you are watching your friends wave bye-bye! The track lends itself to quick nimble cars which can show a thing to the big muscle cars that are here. Yet the back straight and the entrance combo leading onto it, can allow the big cars to really get cranked up. For those who want to drive a car spiritedly but for whatever reasons the track is not an option we offer a full weekend of Solo II competition. There is ample parking for those who just want to spectate and the roads in the area are fun to bring your classic out onto. There is plenty going on track side, vendors and displays and the drivers and cars to get to know. The paddock is reminiscent of the tracks from the sixties when drivers and cars were right there and only a fence separated you from the pits and track. Your checks and money go directly to the charity. Checks are made directly to the PVGPA and our gate receipts go to the charities also. So no matter how you come in you are helping people who need our help and having a good time. What could be more quintessential American than a bunch of volunteers getting together with a bunch of normal, everyday people and turning a good time into a good deed.
