Wow! from wet and cold to steamy and hot. Where did the spring go?! Well if it is hot it must mean that BeaveRun is just around the corner and it is. So how come your entry is not in? Unless you have been living under a rock somewhere you know that this year the PVGP is now in direct control of both its races, the one you all know at BeaveRun and the one you may not know as well at Schenley Park. For the first time in a long time (Schenley is in its 29th year this year) the races at the Park are open to a lot of you. So for many you can enter two completely different races on one entry form for one combined price that is less than some races alone! Free trailer and/or rig parking will be available for those who would like and drop their rig and go home or better yet spend the week between the races in the area. Now on to more things in specific: This year at BeaveRun we have a number of things going on that we think you and our race fans will enjoy. 1) For our BIG Bore and Ground Pounders we have a new format - The US challenge Cup - You and your British Cousins will be taking on the best that Europe has to offer - German, Italian & French - Show them what cubic inches and American grunt can do to their oh so fancy and dare we say effeminate cars. For this event (and you are already quite familiar with the strange things that may be seen at Beaver - an Aston Martin Nimrod being passed by a Pinto!) not only will you see the cars you are used too and I suspect that would mean our winged and devilishly fast 914 you have been chasing for the past few years, but also some other newer Porsches & BMW race cars. So now you will need to rely on both your sheer horsepower and knowledge of the track to keep these pesky cars where they belong. In your mirrors. It looks to be a fun time. I have a lot of interest from the European side and it looks like I have the commitment of a few more Corvettes and perhaps an E type or two to help. Tell your friends who keep saying they are going to come that this is the year! 2) The First Annual Donna Mae Simms Memorial Race; this race is open to Spridgets only and is a standalone sprint race held in conjunction with all of the normal racing you will be doing. This is your moment to shine and to honor a passed racer who broke all sorts of boundaries in the racing world. There is no additional cost for this race (99% of you are legal to go onto Schenley from this group) 3) FF Challenge Race - this is our traditional FF only race we have been holding every year now for our FF & Club Ford entries. there is no additional fee for this race 4) BMW/Porsche Cup Challenge - We are reviving our long standing Challenge Cup series and expect to see some great racing here. This group is open to BMW & Porsche cars only that meet BMW and/or Porsche Club rules and you must be a current qualified racer in one of these clubs (many of these same cars are eligible to compete in the US Cup Challenge at no extra charge - please either contact me or Keith Lawrence for more info) 5) Porsche Feature Race - Open to all Porsches racing in any group at BeaveRun. This is a standalone sprint race at no extra fee Plus; the Kart track is open so you and your family can see who really is the quicker driver, or perhaps when your mechanic blows you away you will listen when they tell you, you are doing something wrong. There is a fee for this and a portion of the Kart track earnings is donated to our charities I have been informed that there will be some type of flashlight drags down the main straight after we are off the track on Saturday and I suppose it will start either during our dinner party or shortly thereafter - if this happens and whatever it is we are invited to it. As per usual we have a get together reception at the track on Friday open to drivers and crews (this is free) and again as usual we will have our Saturday dinner party (you pay for this but it is a good deal) So I expect to see every single one of you at the track. And lest we forget we are not just racing to have a good time here, we are racing to help some people who really, really need your help. If you could see the smiles on some of these people's faces and perhaps even more the smiles on their loved ones faces because of what the charities we are supporting do - well I am here to tell you I cannot keep my eyes dry and I doubt if you can either. And as always thank you so very much for coming and making this event possible and allowing us to help those others who need it Ralph Steinberg Director of Competition PVGP BeaveRun
