> exceptions, Spites may have a 1275 engine so can a Mini. Spitfire's
> would not be allowed 1500 engines. MGB must be three main bearing and
> may not have a full syncro box. As time goes on and we work this out
> more info will follow. You can check at www.cloverleaf-auto.com and
> click the PVGP/VSCCA button for more info or
go
> to http://www.pittsburghvintagegrandprix.com/ also. All cars and
> drivers will need to have correct racing credentials and each car and
> driver will need to submit all the correct information to me for
> approval. The field will be limited to 30 cars.
> Pittsburgh is not an all out race track, we like to consider it a
7/10ths
> course. Stone walls have a way of winning most encounters. It may not
> be a bad idea to go to VSCCA's web site and see how we view the
> vintage world. that view is the only view that is acceptable at
Pittsburgh.
> Like I said before over the next few months I will get more specific
with
> details on tires and other things but the general outline is fairly
> period correct cars. No tube chassis look likes....
