Seems to me whenever I have snow out my window I seem to think about racing!
Have about 3/4 of an inch and they tell us to expect between 8 inches and a
foot by tomorrow afternoon!!
Well on to visions of the upcoming season. As anyone who has been on these
lists for more than a year should know I am Ralph Steinberg PVGPA director
of Competition BeaveRun. And as you all know the BeaveRun Races came from
the fevered minds of Mike Connolly & myself to see what we could do to make
the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix experience possible to more racers and
fans. Welcome the BeaveRun Historics! Entering our 6th year!
As both a racer and an event organizer, I cut my teeth on the Schenley Park
event, I think I know what you want and try to blend that to what my
sponsors want. End result is the best damned road race around!
Last year we played around a little with a true Trans Am (well the
mid-version over and under 2.5 liters) It went over big with both drivers
and spectators! This year I really want to push it! And I mean as it really
was. Any VW beetles still out there? How about a NSU or Gordini? Any Alfa
GTA/V's? Javelin, Corvair (V8) Or normal ones, Firebirds, Nova. Cougar,
Rambler Rebel, plus the normal Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, etc.
Hopefully by the end of the day I will have a new revised schedule up and a
pretty comprehensive list of eligible cars for the Beaver Trans Am. If you
do not see your car on the list but think it belongs just ask me.
I expect this group to fill and given the track and the interesting mix
this will be I am limiting this group to the first 25 cars entered in it.
For those that have never raced big against small you do not know what
you're missing. One of the finest races I have ever had in my life was
against a Ford Pinto in my big Jag. What a race and what great memories.
For those who think big and little cannot mix let me tell you they can!
Some of the best racing SCCA ever had was in the trans am series. Look at
Lemans, a bloody crosley hotshot against a Mercedes?! Most of you have also
done it in any all comers race.
So I want to see you out there. In this year of economic uncertainly ( is
that an understatement or what) picking and choosing races is going to be
important. Talk to anyone who has come to a PVGPA event and they will tell
you you cannot get more bang for the buck!
To see how much bang for the buck go to www.cloverleaf-auto.com and click
on the vintage race button and then follow onto the beaver link. I should
have updated schedule up very soon (just shows more track time than what is
there now) Entry forms and costs are the same.
Enjoy
Ralph
