[Spridgets] Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix

[lotuspilot at frontier.com]

Bud,

I will definitely be there however I am worried at the direction that the event is headed.  One of the real unique things with the PVGP is you could look at a great many seriously exotic cars and watch them race.  The sports cars and sports racers that you do not always see.  Last year was mostly the run of the mill British cars and very little rarities.  Is this solely a result of the change in race sanctioning body?

Is this year different? 

Thanks for any information that you can give me for this disturbing trend.

Mike

We're only two weeks away from this MG-centered event (MG is Marque of the
Year, this year) and I'm hoping to see a whole bunch of Spridgets
displayed....Midgets in the Marque of the Year display and Sprites in the
adjacent British Car Day show.   Check out www.pvgp.org and navigate to the
Marque of the Year section.

We have a very large number of MGs entered in the vintage races, which are
run on city streets through beautiful, wooded, hilly Schenley Park.  Our MGs
will be displayed on the golf course adjacent to the race course.

If you can come in a few days ahead of Race Weekend, we've got a whole
weeks' worth of activities planned, including car shows, a countryside
driving tour, a visit to the Pittsburgh Jazz Festival (just a couple of
miles from our Host Hotel (Comfort Inn RIDC).

This event is going to be quite a party!  I hope to see a lot of you guys
there.
