Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix
 

The Pittsburgh Vintage grand Prix - now in its 32d year. Come join hundreds of your fellow p-car enthusiasts as we again gather on the lawn at Schenley Park to enjoy our cars, the races and above all, the camaraderie that has grown over the years. Now is the time to register and get this event on your calendar.

The PVGP takes place in scenic Schenley Park in the heart of Pittsburgh. This is one of 2 vintage races that occur on public streets in the world, the other being Monaco.

Sounds like a great weekend. I may have to tell the wife about this. She loves going to Pittsburgh for any reason.

See you there Ed. I will be bringing a Morgan, MGB and AC MKIV to British Car Day. Are you bringing both of your P Cars? For anybody who loves cars and camaraderie, this event is one of the best in the country.
