[WPTA] Fw: [Fot] 2018 Kastner Cup

[Jerry Van Vlack]

WPTA We are honored to be a part of this local event of national interest. Pitt-Race in our back yard is the location for the 2018 Kastner Cup 16th annual all Triumph Vintage race. Potential is 40+ Triumphs racing. Last year Kas Kastner was heard to say that he had never seen so many TR3’s racing at one time let alone the total number of Triumphs.

As you can see at the bottom of Jim’s announcement WPTA and Triumphs will have some special parking and attention in the Pits. 

I’m looking for some assistance on Saturday in and around Triumph Central to park and arrange all Triumphs that attend. Not much work actually, just WPTA Presence to assist as needed.

More to follow as the date gets closer, stay tuned. This will be significant in WPTA’s long history of Club activities.

FoT Members,

 

Our plans for the 2018 Kastner Cup are on schedule and coming along well.

Here is an update and it is time to REGISTER

 

Kastner Cup Race

This year’s event will be held in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.

The dates are July 6th – 7th – 8h 2018.

The Kastner Cup race will be held Saturday afternoon around 4:00 pm.

It is scheduled to be a 40-minute race, so plan your tires accordingly.

 

Track

Our host track will be Pittsburgh International Raceway, a 2.9 mile track located about 35 miles north of Pittsburgh. For track details and information, visit:   www.pittrace.com

Pitt Race is an excellent facility, with large run off areas, a 100 foot elevation change, two long straights, paved paddocks, clean bathrooms and shower facilities. I think you will find it a great facility for our event.

PVGP other events that may be of interest to you

The PVGP runs two back to back race weekends.

The second weekend is the following weekend July 14 & 15 and is a street race in Pittsburgh’s Schenley Park. This race runs on 2.33 miles of Pittsburgh city streets in Schenley Park and is the longest running vintage street race in America. For photos of the event visit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pittsburghvintagegrandprix/sets/72157687618417183/ and https://www.flickr.com/photos/pittsburghvintagegrandprix/sets/72157686717704321/.

We have arranged for any Triumph driver entering both weekends to receive a free entry into the Axis vs. Allies race at Schenley on Saturday, July 14 (a $75 value). This special race on Saturday pits the British cars against the German and Italian cars.

For more information on registering for the Schenley Park weekend visit: http://www.pvgp.org/drivers/ . Be sure to add yourself to the Axis vs. Allies race.  We can arrange for storage of race car trailers for drivers running both weekends.  

 

This is shaping up to be an excellent event and I look forward to seeing you in July.
