Some of you guys interested in vintage racing might like some of these pics of Pittsburgh Vintage Races. We had a little rain this year (two weekends ago), BMW's Mini was this year's marquie, and the rain didn't really slow racing down too much.

Pretty good P-Car turnout as usual.

Keith:

Great pics. When are you going to sell one of your P-cars (the 996 water pumper one missing its roof) and get a 356 racer? You'd still have your street tub and that gorgeous Carera.

I was seriously considering entering this race but had a few hurdles:

1. new child
2. car has to be built before 12-31-59 (does '62 count)
3. have to convert tub back to rear drum brakes
4. have to lose sponsor / commercial graphics
5. have to lose flashy paint
6. Have to unbox front control arms
7. have to un-modify front kingpins
8. have to lose "Z- bar" and use OEM camber truss (worthless)
9. have to buy bias ply vintage rubber (Dunlop L or R, Hoosier TD, Blue Streak, etc...)
10. No car may have a full cage (cut out front halo of my car...?)
11. new child

Actually, I learned that they created an extra classes for the minis and this one for non-VSCCA correct cars:

"there are two groups for those with non-VSCCA eligible cars. The first, Group 4, is for under 2.2 liter production cars built between 1960-64."

Probably would have found a way into that one.
