Any interest in getting together for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grandprix? Lots of highend car clubs will be present.

Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association

They have an exotic and american car show usually on the Sat/Sunday of the event. Look under the car show section.

There are a few of us that have gone in the past. Amazing how the viper still draws attention even around the highend Italian exotics.

Are you talking about the Combined Car Show on July 18th and 19th, that sounds like a pretty big show, I can add it to the schedule, and see how much interest we can spark, I am looking to try and include events from all parts of the Region since we are spread out so far. Thanks again

An event we have enjoyed in the past is the Quaker Steak & Lube cruise in Erie. Lunch at QS&L and then a cruise around Presque Isle. I believe we did this in conjunction with another region. Its nice and close for the Western PA folks.

Brian, can you get me some more information about it, I know I have seen it referenced before, but I can't find it. Do you know which club (I am thinking Ohio) and what month they have it.

Yes Sir, that is the one. PittsburghRT and I have gone before, as well as a few other local vipers in the Pittsburgh area a few years ago. It would be close for Brian too.

Another great event is the Viper Play Day at BeaverRun Raceway Park. It is a great event put on by the Ohio VCA that draws a good number of PA vipers. BeaveRun is located just north of Pittsburgh. It gives everyone from first time beginners to full time track rats a chance to safely drive there cars around a road coarse. There is usually a comp coupe there as well. For those that don't want to track, there are always viper just hanging out as well. I can try to find out the date for this if interested.

 

[PaViper]

Thanks, let me know the date for that as well, the comp coupe that is there is probably Frank Barba

One of the instructors is Jim Stout, he had his Coastal Pet Products Comp. Coupe there last year. His wife Kathy also instructs and has her racing neon's present.

Two years ago, Jim would take your around in his race preped GTS as well, WHAT A BLAST THAT IS.

I'll keep an eye out on the Ohio VCA schedule and get you a date.

Sorry for the delay Carmen. Yes, I think it was Ohio we joined forces with. I believe Rege & Donna may know more about it. We can discuss at the ATH party.
