Fellow Triumph Enthusiasts:
Wow a lot of discussion these past few weeks about events associated with our
cars and what's happening throughout Pennsylvania in early July. I'd like to
plug the early part of these events for those of you interested in
participating in the TRF Summer Party prior to VTR. Charles has written about
his Summer Party Plans which include one of the premier if not the most unique
Vintage Sports Car Races being held for it's 25th year.
It's the PVGP or the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, Here is a link to an
article in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and a link to the PVGP Web page too.

There is no cost for viewing this event but parking is not easy either. There
is a simple solution for that too and it's the 27th annual Western
Pennsylvania Triumph Association's British Car Day held on the Schenley Park
Golf Course overlooking the race track which winds it's way through the park
roads and adjoining city streets of the Oakland section of Pittsburgh. Oakland
is where the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University are
located. For the entrance fee of $20.00 you get to park your British Car
(only) among the other BCD Entrants which in the past have totaled close to
400 cars. In addition to the races and BCD there are several other special
marque car shows both domestic and foreign. It's an overdose of the motoring
hobby.
Here is a link to the registration form and more information about WPTA's
BCD.

If you are planning to participate in the TRF Summer Party this is the main
Saturday event and it's one you don't want to miss. I encourage you to
register for BCD using the above link to the WPTA. You can register the day of
the show but it will cost a little more and may result in a delay entering the
show field. The fees are donated to the Charities of the PVGP and you can read
all about them on the PVGP web site.
I invite and hope to see many of you there.
Regards to all.
Jerry Van Vlack
PS if the links don't work for some reason write to me and I'll send them to
you on an individual basis.
