Driver’s Page – Schenley Park
July 25-26, 2020
Vintage Racers,
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is one of the premier vintage racing and charity events in the country. I am honored to be the new Competition Director for Schenley Park. I have participated in various roles in the Grand Prix since it’s inception: as a spectator, a car show participant, a photographer, a rallye driver, a member of the drivers and competition committees, and as a racer.
This is a one-of-a-kind event. The dominant features of other “street course” races are barriers and catch fences. Standing on a golf course or field and watching cars racing near you is a thing of the past everywhere else. We work very hard to keep it authentic, safe and fun!
2020 promises to be the best yet! We are reuniting with the VSCCA and they will be bolstering our Pre-War and Sports/Formula grids. Many of their racers have been with us since we started – and once again, they’ll be racing on the streets, they way they did at the beginning. The VRG will partner with us at the PVGP Historics at Pitt Race on the first weekend and we hope that many members will stick around or return the following weekend at Schenley Park.
