[Home Consolidated]

One I have not seem otherwise mentioned is the Pittsburg Vintage Grand Prix (Shinnlley sp Park). It has a very inclusive car show as well.

I think my top five suggestions would include the 'major annual' vintage events at Road America, Road Atlanta, Lime Rock, Mid-Ohio, and Watkins Glen.  If I had to pick just one Top Choice (and having been given the guideline of bring 'an auto enthusiast vice an experienced racer'), I think I'd pick the Lime Rock Labor Day weekend because their No Sunday Racing policy allows for a second 'happening'.  On Sunday they have a HUGE Concours that attracts tons and tons of exotic collector cars.  I think that would sit well given the guidelines.  Add to that...it is a back to back racing weekend with the big Watkins Glen event, providing an opportunity to get to both of them (and there is plenty to do in the area during the days between them.
