FoT Members,
Our plans for the 2018 Kastner Cup are on schedule and coming along well.
Here is an update and it is time to REGISTER
Kastner Cup Race
This year?s event will be held in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand
Prix.
The dates are July 6th ? 7th ? 8h 2018.
The Kastner Cup race will be held Saturday afternoon around 4:00 pm.
It is scheduled to be a 40-minute race, so plan your tires accordingly.
Track
Our host track will be Pittsburgh International Raceway, a 2.9 mile track
located about 35 miles north of Pittsburgh. For track details and information,
visit:

Pitt Race is an excellent facility, with large run off areas, a 100 foot
elevation change, two long straights, paved paddocks, clean bathrooms and
shower facilities. I think you will find it a great facility for our event.

America. For photos of the event visit:
