Default Pitt Gathering Pics

Hi Folks - here are some pics from our Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix gathering this weekend. It was a great time. We had 10 cars on Saturday, and 5 today. Folks came from near and far - Jim Condax and his son Steve from Baltimore in Jim's pristine ruby red 86.5 (see his engine bay pic below), Kyle (Shark Attack) from Erie, John Kuhn in his sweet sounding twin turbo from Cincy (see pic below - nice engine bay set up!), and the local crowd, including most recent addition to our local group - Rick and lovely wife Kay Slater in from Wisconson..Also, Eclise stopped by - sorry we missed you Sean - in your honor there are some Lotus pics here. Lastly, Charles showed up from Morgantown, WV in his '95 red/tan 5 speed GTS We also did a fun run in the hills of SW PA, and had dinner in nearby West Virginia, overall, great weekend...Enjoy the exotic car ****!

last batch...note the Terrible Towel hangin out of the Dino - this year's festivities were in honor of the late, great Steeler's sportscaster, Myron Cope, who co-founded the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 26 years ago, and invented the Terrible Towel!

Thanks again 928 Owner's Club for the sponsorship for another year!

Now, the banner is off to Hell, to you Andrew....keep it alive!

just parade laps, altho some of the drivers took the opportunity to rev and let those magnificant Italian engines wail! Sends shivers down the spine...

LOOK AT ALL THOSE TR6's! I LOVE TR6's! Had a Spitfire, always wanted a 6!!!

Would love to see pics of any Ferrari 400's you might have been able to take, there were bound to be a few of them on hand!

Looks like a great time and the 928's looked FAB on the lawn! Way to go guys!

Bill - that engine bay of Jim's is the finest I've seen. James, there were just about every stripe of Ferrari there, but I didn't photograph them all, perhaps somebody else did and will post?

Holy cow. Someone brought out a 288 GTO. Those things are super rare, and badass. Jim's engine looks awesome as well.
