2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 01 July, 2018 Fans and first-time visitors,

Welcome to the 2018 Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, our 36th consecutive year of raising funds for charity while celebrating the automobile. It’s not only one of this city’s largest happenings, it’s a major event on the worldwide vintage racing calendar. The charities that the PVGP supports add to our drive and passion, and over the years, we’ve been able to donate more than five million dollars to the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Allegheny Valley School. What began as a single day in Schenley Park -- Labor Day, 1983 – has become a 10-day festival of car shows, parades, a road rally, a countryside tour, a black tie gala, a jet center party, and two full weekends of vintage car racing. The logistics are challenging, but our invaluable partnership with the City of Pittsburgh has enabled us to present the nation’s only vintage race run on city streets. The enthusiasm of our car show participants, race drivers, and volunteer workers guarantee that visitors, spectators, and race fans alike will experience an event unequalled in the nation. Our success is fueled by our friends at the Greater Pittsburgh Automobile Dealers Foundation. Their sponsorship over the past four years has helped drive our greatest growth. Yet, right behind them are 75 generous sponsors and partners who are also an integral part of our success. Please consider making a donation at one of our donation stations. If you’d like to offer even more, consider joining us as a volunteer. Remember, it’s all about giving back to our community while having fun and mixing and meeting with people of all ages who share our passion for great motor vehicles.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Daniel E. DelBianco Executive Director

OUR CHARITY PARTNERS Since our founding in 1983 the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association’s mission has remained the same: to produce a world-class vintage racing event to raise funds to support individuals with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Last year the PVGP raised $350,00 bringing our total donation to over $5 million for the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Merakey Allegheny Valley School. Charity Ambassadors Starting in 2005, the PVGP selected ambassadors from each of our charities. Anita Iyengar represented the Au- tism Society of Pittsburgh and Brandon Fisher represented Merakey AVS. Anita and Brandon have become part of the Grand Prix family. The Ambassador Program has been such a success that we expanded it to include more ambassadors. They all characterize the impact that our charities have in our community.

Merakey AVS Ambassadors: Brandon, Ed, Elizabeth, Joe and Tony Merakey AVS provides quality programs and facilities to help more than 800 adults with intellectual and devel- opmental disabilities to live with purpose and dignity. Their individualized services provide opportunities and choices that promote growth and independence. PVGP Contributions are used to cover critical expenditures that Medicaid does not reimburse, including therapeutic equipment, new program development, fa- cility improvements and renovations, and so much more. Recent support from 1996 Ewings Mill Road the PVGP helped to design, build and equip a Smart Home in Allegheny County. Coraopolis, PA 15108 412-299-7777

Autism Society Ambassadors: Anita, James, Logan, Tommy, Christopher and Tyler Contributions from the PVGP are for the Autism Policy Work Group, Autism Resources.com, Information and Re- ferral, Joey Travolta Film Camp, Prospective Employer Training, Waiver Support Broker Services, Autism Society of Pittsburgh App, Higher Contact Transition Program and Sensory-Friendly Adaptive Playground. The Autism Society of Pittsburgh, founded in 1966, provides advocacy, information, and referral on care and treatment, educational, habilitative and other life-improving service options for those with autism, to their parents and families, and to the profes- sionals who work with them. 4371 Northern Pike Monroeville, PA 15146 412-856-7223 autismsocietypgh.org

2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 12 2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 12 2018 PVGP POSTER ARTIST Guy Allen By Ted Sohier Guy Allen is a successful international artist who declares, “you could say I’ve been a car nut since a child.” While not competing himself, Guy has an uncle who did some road racing in England. But, he says, it was the outrageously fast and powerful rally cars that were his “real ob- sessions as a teenager.” He attended the Royal Automo- bile Club (RAC) Rally several times, and says, “… childhood obsessions can often be traced back to a single event. For me, it was standing in a forest on a cold, damp November morning and experiencing the visceral thrill of a Group B rally car at close quarters. The event was the 1983 RAC Rally; the car, the of Finland’s Hannu Mikkola. I was hooked.” And no wonder – Mikkola won the World Championship that year, and won the RAC Rally four times in his career. Guy was born in Norfolk, United Kingdom, and grew up near Silverstone race circuit, home of the British Grand Prix, where he watched the great progress from Formula 3 to his world championships with McLaren. Today, Guy lives in London, but is not far from Goodwood, where he regularly attends its Festival of Speed, the annual hillclimb featuring historic race cars and drivers.

2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 14 2-page strip introduced a notable racing driver of the past with about 20 frames. “I had to out- line the key events and achievements, and try to capture something of their character. It was a lot of work, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.” This one profiled Tony Rolt, a WWII hero who went on to win the LeMans 24-Hour race in a Jaguar in 1953.

You’ll find Guy’s illustration on our posters, programs, tee shirts, hats, and promotional Guy studied in Paris at the most famous art school in France, materials this year, continuing our tradition of École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he devel- inviting fine artists to create special work to cel- oped a passion for print making, and particularly the traditional ebrate the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. etching process. Back in the U.K., he trained as a print maker, and has now had one of his etchings exhibited at the presti- gious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London. He says, “Whether I’m working on an editorial cartoon, a corporate com- mission, or a new print release, my aim is always to go beyond simply depicting a car, by attempting to capture something of its character – the visual drama of a Countach, the cuteness of a 500, or the raw energy of Mikkola’s Quattro.” Guy works as a full-time artist, and is represented by Grandy Art. After a successful first solo exhibition in London, Guy had a strong response to his horse studies, and is now concentrating on the horse as subject matter. You can read more about Guy, and see more of his work, on his website, guyallenart.com. Guy Allen created this year’s striking portrait of a BMW 2002 Turbo to represent both our Marque of the Year, BMW, and the iconic 2002, introduced to the U.S. 50 years ago this summer. The image is of a limited-production 2002 Turbo, available just two years – 1973 and ’74. Just under 1,700 were built, and none were officially imported into the U.S. The car that was the inspiration for Guy’s illustration is attending a number of our PVGP events here this year. Guy created a series, “Racing Lives,” for Britain’s Motor Sport magazine. One ran in each monthly issue, for a year. Each

Jim is much more than an artist, as he travels the coun- try attending car events and races, and has become an ambassador for the PVGP – which is exactly why we asked him to serve as our Grand Marshal this year – to lead the parade on the track during our opening cer- emonies on Sunday, July 15. The lap takes about 15 minutes, just enough time for Jim to do a few sketches!

Jim creates his sketches on-site, usually in a few min- utes, and often sends the car owners a copy of the sketch and a note inviting them to donate to the PVGP charities. Hundreds of dollars are raised each year by this incredible gesture – just another example of Jim’s generous nature. With Jim’s permission, PVGP has published a collec- tion of his live-action sketches in a sketchbook format. It is titled “Weekends In July, The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix”. The book is a 25-year celebration of the unique character of our world-class Pittsburgh event. It contains 82 sketches created over 25 years, from the cars shows, the paddock and on the race course.

RACE LEGEND, HONORARY RACE DIRECTOR Bill Auberlen Last fall, Bill Auberlen started his 400th race in a BMW. It was Petit LeMans at , and Bill and his Team RLL won the GTLM class in their M6. It was Bill’s 151st race victory with the Bavarian marque, mean- ing that Bill has won nearly 38 percent of his starts in . No wonder he’s been named North American Brand Ambassador this year, charged with providing support for BMW customer race programs. That means Bill’s racing schedule is a bit lighter this year, but he’s still competing in the Weathertech SportsCar Championship -- racing a Team RLL BMW M8 GTLM in the long distance endurance races, and a Turner Motorsport M6 GT3 in the GT Daytona class in Weathertech sprint races. He’s had an illustrious career, including five times at the 24 Hours of LeMans, with a best finish of 4th over- all in the BMW-engined Gulf McLaren F1 GTR in 1998. That year Bill attended the PVGP, in company with one of those amazing . Highlights of his illustrious career include 2 Grand- Am GT Championships and multiple GT Class wins at the and 12 Hours of Sebring. Bill has spent the majority of his career in rac- ing and currently stands second in the all-time rank- ing of sports car victories in North America. With BMW being honored as our Marque of the Year it was an easy choice to select Bill as our Hon- orary Race Director. He will be taking to the track at Schenley Park on Saturday and Sunday, driving exhi-

It is knowing that AND STILL in the process of enjoying yourself, you are giving an op- portunity to many others who often cannot. ROLLING It is this community service component of the Pitts- burgh Vintage Grand Prix that justifies the time and effort 36 ALONG of the volunteers and participants, and the investment by our region’s businesses and corporate leaders — all of There are hundreds of vintage car events — races, car whom we especially thank every year and perhaps can shows, tours, rallies, parties and parades. The Pittsburgh never thank enough. Vintage Grand Prix combines all of these, putting it into a class by itself. For 36 years — each year better than the one before — it has grown, from one day of vintage car racing to an internationally acclaimed 10-day cele- bration of great automobiles and the people who love them. In the process, it’s become a treasured tradition of our special city, and one of the largest events here each summer. You might ask, “Why?” What has captivated and con- sumed so many — the founders, the racers, car owners, sponsors, spectators, and the volunteers – those who join us every year in growing numbers? The answer might well be the one ingredient that few, if any, of the other similar events possess. From Day One, Labor Day 1983, proceeds now totaling more than $5-million have helped two area charities, improving the lives individuals and their families living with autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities.

2018 PVGP RACE WEEK CALENDAR What started as a single day race in 1983 has grown into the nation’s largest vintage race event. But racing isn’t the only thing on the schedule at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.

2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 29 SCHENLEY PARK VINTAGE RACES Photo by Bill Stoler to throw a speeding car wide off the outside of a turn. Racer Manley Ford says that, because of those crowns, JULY 14 & 15 “. . . for the most part, the track is only half as wide as it The nation’s largest and only vintage looks.” Run off the road here, and you might meet one street race run entirely on city streets of the park’s mature and beautiful trees, along with the aforementioned curbs and walls. As Manley says, here at Schenley Park, “you can go fast and you can do it safely. You can also go not so fast and do it very dangerously.” We encourage our drivers, above all else, to do it all very safely. On entering the park or the adjacent golf course, you may hear the race cars in the background, rev- ving their engines in warm up or tuning, or you may hear the passing of a group of cars on the track. These are sounds that excite your soul and alert you to the seriousness of the racing. Many a newcomer has re- marked, “You mean to tell me that they are actually racing?” Yes!

Walkers and joggers a few accidental smashups or spinouts over the years. come by on the trails; families picnic; golfers drive and putt; bicyclists wend their way around the circuit roads. But then, something strange happens here on one weekend in July. The rolling hills and winding roads are transformed into the nation’s most challenging road racing course. No racing venue in the country – not a permanent road course, not a temporary street circuit -- presents its competitors with as daunting a lap. The Schenley Park road race course is lined with curbs, ready to flat- ten a tire or break a spindly suspension. Its stone walls are notorious threats to the fragile vintage bodywork. The pavement is public roads the rest of the year, and public roads are crowned – higher in the middle – to allow rain runoff. But those crowns have a tendency Photo by Bill Stoler

If you know anything about racing history these sights and sounds evoke a mind picture of what it must have been like at Watkins Glen, Monte Carlo or the Italian Mille Miglia where crowds stand beside the road as the cars roar past. Yet, around this magnificent park are literally thou- sands of specialty automobiles, brought here by lov- ing owners to the delight of aficionados and casual spectators alike. There is paint and chrome and wood and upholstery fashioned into vehicles that were once new and now perhaps museum quality. But the real excitement is in the racing, it is the heart of this event. You are encouraged to find a spot to watch the cars speed past, root for an underdog or ap- plaud a leader, it is racing not seen anywhere else and it belongs to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Photo by Bill Stoler You are encouraged to venture around the park, cheer on the racers, talk to owners and enthusiasts who have a love of all things automotive and enjoy one of the nation’s best automobile experiences,,, knowing that it is as unique as we say it is. And if you happen to see a driver, a show car owner, or a volunteer, please thank them because without them, this one-of-a-kind event would never happen.

The shuttle then pro- ceeds to the start/finish line at Beacon Street and then reverses the route. Because of road closures we no longer run the outer loop bus to the Vietnam Pavilion and the paddock. The Vietnam Pavilion is a popular vantage point for our hand- icapped spectators and they can drive there directly and park beside the pavilion.

2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 61 INTERNATIONAL CAR SHOW AT SCHENLEY PARK There are few auto races that also provide the diver- sion of a car show. At the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in Schenley Park, we don’t offer a few cars, we give you thousands of them – from all marques, on the golf course overlooking the races. And some are museum pieces from around the world. Bill Roberts proposed the idea of an invitational affair in 1984 when a small but magnificent display assembled at the Frick Fine Arts Museum that year. The show grew in 1985, with cars being shown on Flagstaff Hill and with the addition of Marque of the Year. Larry Smith stepped in to take us to the next level –presenting the cars on the Schenley Park golf course. Today, they encompass one square mile of cars, tents and displays – larger than some Western Pennsylvania municipalities! Photos by Jenn Yates

BMW 2002 Turbo: The Grail for BMW collectors is the 1974 2002 Turbo. With 180 horsepower, its top speed was 130 mph. [BMW Group Classic]

Although BMW enjoyed a spectacular history of sports-racing and luxury cars in the 1930s, the company was almost completely destroyed during World War BMW’S II, and few Americans noticed the travails of the struggling Bavarian company as it began to produce cars again in the 1950s. Unable to produce high- volume, low-margin everyday cars, BMW employed its prewar strat- egy: higher-cost upscale models. The results were a financial disaster, and spectacular models like the Albrecht Goertz-designed BMW 507 only compounded the problem in the mid-’50s; while it was seen 2002THE CAR THAT then and now as the most beautiful BMW ever, its cost had risen to more than twice its original estimates. Desperate for cash, BMW leapt to the other end of the automo- STARTED tive spectrum, purchasing licenses—and tooling—from Renzo Rivolta’s Italian company, Iso SpA. The result was the BMW Isetta, a cute little single-cylinder microcar that employed BMW’s motorcycle-engine building prowess. ABy Satch Carlson CLUB The Isetta (and the later BMW 600 and 700 models, still powered by air-cooled motorcycle engines in the rear) did at least keep the doors open at the BMW factory, but it was the introduction of the Neue Klasse 1500 that truly revived the company. Introduced at the 1961 Frankfurt Auto Show, the 1500 was a completely new car with a completely new engine. And it was a car—a real car with four doors! Front disc brakes! Independent rear suspension!

All of BMW’s past racing history had seeped into its corporate DNA, and by the time the New Class cars had evolved through 1.6 and 1.8-liter variants, it was obvious that here was a new kind of car: a sport sedan. Now a person of modest means might have one car that was roomy enough for a growing family, with ample room for luggage or groceries, yet agile enough for a true sporting drive. The 1600-2 (for two doors) was introduced in 1966—short- er, lighter, and even more maneuverable.

It was an inexpensive and distinctive economy model that was produced in a coupe, van and truck model. The 360 featured an air-cooled, 2 stroke inline 2 cylinder 356 cc engine mounted transversely at the rear. In 1969 Subaru introduced the FF1 model, the first front-wheel drive car from Japan.

In reality, the Grand Prix owns no show cars and has only a small group of volunteers to manage the overall shows.

2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 83 Photos by Matthew Little ITALIAN CORTILE The Cortile is one of the highlights of our car shows at the Pitts- burgh Vintage Grand Prix. Cortile is Italian for “Courtyard,” and it’s befitting the name because of the gorgeous Italian cars that sit in front of The Pittsburgh Golf Club promontory. The Cortile features the best of Italian design with sports cars from Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Fiat, , Lamborghini and Maserati. Saturday at the Grand Prix is when the Cortile Cup is awarded for best in show and for each Italian Marque. On Sunday, the Car Show Participants move to the Westinghouse Pond VIP Area for “Wine on Nine” to watch the rac- ers negotiate the exciting hairpin at Turn 9. Each year the Cortile selects a Proiettore Macchina; a Marque or model to highlight. The Macchina of Iso Rivolta and Bizzarini is the 2018 Proiettore Macchina! The Rivolta family has been involved in scooters, motorcycles, sports cars, grand touring cars, as well as yachts and the automotive design house, Zagato over the years. Iso was initially named ‘Isothermos’ and manufactured refrigera- tion units in 1939. The business was re-founded as Iso Autoveicoli S.p.A. in 1953 by Renzo Rivolta to reflect the production of motor- ized transport. Rivolta developed a microcar for two persons with a front entrance called the Isetta. About 20,000 of the bubble cars were built at the Iso works. In 1954, the Isetta was licensed to au- tomobile manufacturer BMW. The BMW-Isetta went on to become one of the best-selling microcars in the 1950s and 1960s. The Isetta is known as the car that saved the BMW marque from extinction. Renzo Rivolta died in 1966 and his son, Piero took over as Man- aging Director at the young age of 25. Together with engineer

2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 84 Giotto Bizzarrini, designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and chas- sis builder Bertone, Renzo Rivolta began developing performance cars including the iconic Iso Grifo which later led to the creation of the Bizzarini 5300 GT. For the gamer’s out there who have competed on Sony’s 2017 “”, you may recognize the IsoRivolta Gran Turismo. This car was developed at the design firm Zagato, managed by Marella Rivolta-Zagato, daughter to Piero Rivolta and her husband Andrea Zagato. On Saturday, Heacock Classic Insurance will be pro- viding coffee and biscotti and by lunch time, Mid Atlan- tic Sports Cars will be announcing the winners of the Cortile Cup as well as hosting some of the PVGP Ital- ian Race Car Drivers.

EachLARRY year the Grand SMITH Prix Car Show AWARD Committee awards the Larry Smith Award to the person who best exem- plifies the sprit and commitment that Larry showed for many years as the driving force and spirit behind our car shows in the early days. His passion for cars was exceed- ed only by his love for people and a desire to see them enjoy their cars. The International Car Show at Schenley Park is the direct result of Larry’s work. Bob Speer has been the captain of the Car Shows and a leader within the PVGP for over a decade. The Larry Smith Award was given in the early years of the Grand Prix and Bob revived it in 2007. Bob is shown presenting the award in the photos below - this is a case where the man giving the award deserves it as much as those who receive it! Congratulations to all the winners.

AStory and PhotosGAME by Matthew Little OF RISK

I’ll bet a lot of us have thought this before. You look at the map of Schenley Park for the weekend and think to yourself, Hmm, this looks similar to a game of RISK. I know I have. All of your Axis and Allies are present and accounted for, and the layout almost resembles an ac- tive battle map with the various participants holding their ground and protecting their territories while oth- ers move to split alliances and keep a watchful eye on others. Quite a lot of deception and chicanery going on during the weekend when you really think about it. Even trading and general commerce along with alliances is being forged for better race views and access to food. It changes your thinking as you walk around, doesn’t it?

2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 94 If we start to the north on the high ground we find the Italian cars. It’s a coveted location and the dining is relaxed and filling. The parking isn’t particularly precise, but hey, it’s a huge collection of Italian beauties! They are held at bay by a large contingent of Ameri- cans spread out along a main artery below, along Schenley Drive. True to form it’s a loud and brash group sporting copious amounts of muscular might as well as elegant displays of pre-depression wealth. As a media- tor between groups, we have Cars ‘N Coffee off to one flank. They help provide a buffer between the Ameri- cans and Italians and maintain representatives from all your major powers. It could be a League of Nations if you will – though, we all know what happened to them. Let’s call them the UN. Shockingly, though, they get along well with each other. On the other side of Schenley Drive, which acts like a Axis vehicles. All of the German cars made it in under major body of water, we have the largest gathering of their own power. You will find them gathered from the high ground down to turn 13 and over toward, wait for it, the Japanese cars. It’s worth noting that their organi- zation is kept on its toes by the fact that the may actually be British agents and you can also find small gatherings of French Resistance vehicles close to BMW display, not to mention several Swedes. They are typi- cally watching and monitoring from the tree line. It’s also worth noting that this is the spot to find some great food as well as beer. As you move through that section of the show field you come across a great expanse and orderly display of British cars. All separated by make and model just like soldiers on a battle field. You could almost designate the different sections as infantry, cavalry, armor, and command. Caution is advised, though, as just like the Germans, there may well be spies here, too. Rumor has

2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 95 it that the latest crop of Rolls-Royce and Bentley are not all that they seem and may have a bit of a German lean- ing. Well worth the visit though, as you will likely not see a more orderly display anywhere else this weekend. Moving past the British reveals a large collection of non-combatants. It’s a pretty mixed bag in this section

including every make and model car – old and new. They are not looking for trouble and will offer assis- tance to everyone that passes through. It’s kind of like Switzerland. They tend to be rather jovial, but do have strict laws governing their section. The motorcycles are pretty utopian. You will see all nationalities represented from German and Italian to

US, British and Japanese. They welcome everyone, every day and all day, giving them a sort of indepen- dence, if you will. Like any parlor game – a good time is had by all and when the weekend is over, everyone shakes hands and agrees to come back and play again next year.

PATRON PARKING Long-time Grand Prix fans know that on Sunday - Race Day, Patron Parking is an ideal place to watch the races. This long-standing tradition certainly has a life of its own, thanks to our exuberant Patrons who park on the golf course to watch the races from reserved spaces overlooking Turns 16 through 18. Be- fore the afternoon races begin, Patrons are invited to take a parade lap of the racecourse in their own vehicles. Patron Parking is a big fundraiser and plays a major role in creating the ul- timate Grand Prix experience at Schenley Park, but it’s also a lot of fun for the casual spectator who finds themselves within the thicket of the revelry. Picnics, tailgate parties, and some very lavish and well-catered celebrations blanket the fairways as Patrons blend together. Prizes are awarded annually for Most Outstanding and Coolest Parties. Single spots are $200 with discounts avail- able for multiple purchases.

CHECKERED FLAG WINNERS Don Brown served on the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association’s Executive Committee for 20 years as Government Liaison and as part of the race-side team that plans and manages Race Weekend. “Downtown Brown,” as he was known to friends, fellow volunteers, and the City of Pittsburgh, was the face of our event to many City officials and employees. He was also our Chief Starter, waving the green and checkered flags at our races. When Don passed away in 2009 the PVGP presented a checkered flag to his family on Race Day. What started out as a gesture to honor Don has turned into a Grand Prix tradition. The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association now awards checkered flags each October at our “Victory Lap” event to recognize the extraor- dinary efforts of its volunteers and partners.

Over the past nine years we have waved the checkered flag for outstanding effort 88 times. The list continues to grow because the PVGP has hundreds of volunteers and supporters who give an incredible amount of time and effort each year. All of our volunteers do an incredible job – we’re going to need more flags!

INSIDE RACESIDE

OPERATIONSBy Jeff Hutzelman Have you ever wondered what it takes to put on a race like the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, or who all those people are on the other side of the fence and what exactly are they doing? Maybe you’ve wondered what drives anyone to stand out in the hot sun, or pouring rain, all weekend. Or perhaps you’re thinking about how you could get to the action by joining them. They are our race side volunteers, a dedicated group of 400 individuals that plan, stage and run the largest vintage race event in the country. Here’s the inside story of what they do and how you can join them.

FLAGGERS The most visible volunteers on our race course are the Corner Marshals, also known as Flaggers who are stationed at 20 corners along the course to alert drivers of changing conditions on the track. They are placed so that at least one flag station can be seen from every part of the track. This allows them to be Race Control’s “eyes and ears” on the course, reporting incidents, requesting assistance, and re- laying instructions to drivers by displaying the appropriate flags.

2018 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX 114 RADIO Amateur Radio operators, (typically known as ‘hams’) licensed by the Federal Communications Commis- sion, provide radio communications between Race Control, flag stations, and other key locations on our Schenley Park course. When the PVGP first began back in 1983, Amateur Radio provided a necessary substitute for the wired intercom systems in use at more traditional tracks. Today, while other tracks have switched to commercial radio systems, our hams continue to provide reliable communications despite the challenging terrain of Schenley Park.

STARTERS Starters are responsible for displaying the well- known green and checkered flags, but also for much more. It’s the starters who keep track of both the current leader and the number of laps completed, which allows them to know not only when to wave the checkered flag, but to whom. Starters may also display flags to call particular cars into the pits due to rules violations or mechanical problems. COURSE CREW Emergency Services volunteers are trained in medi- cal response, fire fighting, and vehicle recovery. They’re staged at various points along the course, ready at any moment to respond to emergencies, re- move disabled vehicles, and return the course to a safe condition, often with little or no disruption to the ongoing race. Our volunteers affectionately refer to themselves as the “coarse crew”.

RACE CONTROL Race Control, located at the start/finish line, is the nerve center of the operation, staffed primarily by a communicator and several stewards. The communi- cator is the radio voice of race control, who receives reports from flag stations, issues instructions, man- ages the radio traffic, and keeps track of what is go- ing on at any given time on the track. Stewards are responsible for making decisions about what is hap- TIMING & SCORING pening on the track, enforcing the rules, and insuring Timing & Scoring keeps track of individual car laps the safety of all participants. and records their times. During Saturday’s practice and qualifying runs, times are used to determine grid positions for Sunday’s races. On Sunday, Timing & Scoring keeps track of both times and places so

PIT MARSHALS Pit Marshals are responsible for controlling traffic in the pits and in pit lane, and ensuring the area is safe. They direct cars coming in off the track to the proper location and directing drivers wanting to go back out onto the track. that scores may be given to each driver in both his car class and in the overall race finish. This is accom- plished using a combination of computer systems with radio transponders and a traditional manual system utilizing time cards, stopwatches, and a “lap chart” which shows the position of every car on every lap of the race. These are also the officials who pro- duce the race results distributed during and after the race weekend. PADDOCK Volunteers in the Paddock begin working as early as Thursday and then through the weekend, setting up the paddock, organizing race cars, making sure the REGISTRATION Volunteers at Registration handle check-in of all area is safe, and directing cars from the paddock to drivers, crew, and race officials. They keep a list of the grid and back. everyone who is participating in the event, includ- ing emergency contact information, and issue the wristbands and other credentials that allow access to the track and support areas. The Chief Registrar usually works for months prior to the event getting all competitors entered into a database, preparing for on-site registration, and passing data along to Timing and Scoring.

As you can see, there are a lot of different efforts needed for a suc- cessful race. We’re always in search GRID of volunteer officials to work in any of Officials on the Grid are responsible for organiz- the areas mentioned above, both at ing cars before they go out on the race track at the the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix and beginning of a session.

On Friday and Saturday nights at Schenley Park, nearly 100 volunteer motorcyclists provide security on the racecourse and racecar paddocks.
