 PRESS ROOM

The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, presented by Shop 'n Save welcomes members of all media to our website and hope you attend and enjoy our event.  

Press Passes
Our event at Schenley Park is free to the public so while there is no need to obtain a press pass for admission we ask that you register at the Press Table on the front porch of the Schenley Park Golf Course Clubhouse. This way we know who is covering our event and can provide you with Press Pass lanyard and a press kit.

The Press Table at Schenley Park is open from 8:00 AM until 2:00 PM Saturday 7/18 and Sunday 7/19. Steve Weber is our On-Site Media Director for the event at Schenley Park. He is available to answer questions on his cell at 412 596-6852.
 
Media Credentials/Hot Passes
The hot pass is a wristband that permits you passage inside the snow fence (hot zone) to photograph the races close-up. You must present your press credentials at the Press Table and sign our agreement to receive a hot pass wristband. Media must have experience working around race tracks and corner workers to qualify.

Press Parking
Free parking is available at the Schenley Park clubhouse for qualified TV and radio media. Simply pull into the clubhouse parking lot and ask for John Kerr - he will instruct you where to park. If you need electrical power to broadcast John can place your vehicle on the golf course below the clubhouse where there is adequate space for you to set-up. Electricity is available, but phone lines are not accessible. Because of limited space we can not provide parking for free lance photographers who are not on assignment.
 
For press kits or high-rez images please email a request to Executive Director Dan DelBianco or phone him at 412 299-2273.
