The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix and it's races at Schenley Park are the nation's largest vintage race event and the longest continuous running vintage race as well as the only one staged on city streets. It's unique in so many ways. Anyone that has raced at Schenley Park can attest to the beauty and the thrills that only a street course that winds through a city park and a golf course can offer.
What started out as a one day race in 1983 has evolved into a 10-day celebration of the automobile with an additional weekend of racing, three car shows, a cocktail party and a blacktie dinner. The events raises money for charity, and $2.5 million has been raised to date. The proceeds benefit individuals with autism and mental retardation served by the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Allegheny Valley School.
