<DIV>Just in case you don’t get this. Just out this evening.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>WPTA will need some participation in this great event as the Host Triumph
Club. Let’s show the Triumph community our support. WPTA is a great club with a
great PVGP Legacy in BCD, this event will be our icing on the cake and something
to be added to our bucket list. A group of us have attended many of the FOT
Races over the last 16 years and it’s gotten better every year. </DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Our track this year is the
Pittsburgh International Race Complex (PittRace) in Wampum Pennsylvania, located
about 40 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. <A
style='href: "http://www.pittrace.com/"' target=_blank><FONT
color=#0563c1>www.pittrace.com</FONT></A> PittRace is a tremendous track
and facility. Boasting 2.8 miles of length, 19 turns, WIDTH (36 feet), and
elevation change (110 feet). The track is fast and challenging yet forgiving
with lots of runoff. Wind it out on two long straights. Fix it in the paved
paddocks & clean garages. Stay fresh with the clean & air-conditioned
facilities. We be running the full circuit (combined north & south tracks)
all weekend. The track was completely resurfaced last year (with terrific
curbing) and is an excellent racing surface. Here is an instructional video
narrated by the track instructor. <A

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Begun in 1983, the PVGP is a 35
year old vintage racing event that covers two whole weeks of action. The first
weekend is at Pitt International Race Complex - our home for the 2018 Kastner
Cup event. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The second weekend is racing on
the streets of Schenley Park, a city park adjacent to the Carnegie Mellon and
University of Pittsburgh campuses. Between the race weekends there are
numerous car shows, road rally, a Jet Center party and more. PVGP is a 100%
volunteer event with 2,000 volunteers and the event proceeds support Autism
charities in Western Pennsylvania.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Schenley Park is a true street
race - with curbs, street lights, brick walls, crowned roads and manhole covers.

Schenley Park is racing as it was in the 1950’s and early 60’s. The race is
through city streets and a golf course, with over 3,000 vintage cars displayed
on the golf course and an estimated 200,000 spectators over the weekend.
The Streets of Schenley Park is a bucket list item for its uniqueness and
setting. <U></U></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">This second weekend is
<U>optional</U> and <U>not</U> a part of the Kastner Cup race. On the web site
you will see there are two distinct race weekends. The Kastner Cup is part of
the PVGP Historics weekend. The PVGP runs for the entire 10 day period, wrapped
by two race weekend. <A style='href: "http://www.pvgp.org/about-us/history/"'
