I try to make it out to this event each year as it’s such a special one. With this having been the 32nd annual, over $3 Million has been raised for the Allegheny Valley School and the Autism Society. It’s a very special series of events that occur over a 2wk period ending in a 2day Vintage Grand Prix on the public streets and stone wall-lined lanes of the Schenley Park Golf Course in Pittsburgh, PA…lovely atmosphere to say the least and the weather this year, while being quite rainy, was a lovely departure from the hot/humid conditions of the year prior.

This year, we packed the Cobra, and started out on the 300 mile round-trip journey on a Thursday evening. We arrived at our B&B that night, had a relaxing Friday tooling around Pittsburgh in the Strip District, visiting the Church Brew Works, and having a generally relaxing time. Saturday, the first day of the GP brought rather rainy conditions, so we didn’t make it to Schenley Park until the early afternoon when the weather let up, then after a 2hr or so dry spell, the rain started up again, so it was back to the B&B, downloaded the “Lyft” app and off to dinner at the Hofbrauhaus.. That was my first Lyft experience, and it was pretty conveniently-fantastic. Sunday brought much dryer conditions, so the vintage racing and car show weekend ended on a high note leaving us once again looking forward to next year.
Here are some of the pics I took during the event. Sorry for the quality of some of them.
