Great! Time to start arranging my schedule so I can attend.   

Another one I can't make.

The Pittsburg Grand Prix runs July 12- 21. Maybe we can connect up with some of their events

[gjz30075]

Were the dates announced, too?

[69 GT350 Vert]

Announced at dinner: Beaver Run Raceway.  Hotels in Pittsburgh.  Should be in early to mid-July.  Details pending.

The BeaveRun race track changed their name to PittRace.  Here is the website.  http://pittrace.com/

I'm pretty sure the track has not changed.  I liked the old name and still have the plaque with the scared beaver sticking out of the Cobra from the last time it was there. 

Being from Pittsburgh, I will be there with my 69 GT350 convertible. 

I know one of the racing instructors at PittRace.  If anyone needs me to contact him to get track information or anything, let me know.  He is at the track daily.

Since your from the area...is there any other must see places while we're in the area? (Shelby / Mustang related)
If I can get out there, it would be my first stay on that side of the state. Might as well make more out of it if possible.

9 hours. Over the limit for me. I need to take naps every 2.

America has motels and hotels along every route.

Nah, that's too much like Marco Polo leading an expedition?

Think of it as a mini-Gumball for older drivers.

What about older cars?

Other than a few private collections I have seen, there really isn't any noteworthy shelby/mustang places to see here in Pittsburgh that I am aware of.

Thanks for the added info. I guess we'll have to get our fill at the convention. I'll have to take a look at any tourist traps / historical places too.

There's a neat "adult" store along "80" somewhere. Kopec and Pardee stopped there and the hostess was nude.

Someone should put that one on the list. Wait. That was 35 years ago. She's probably all wrinkled and sagging. Nix that.
