So you mean that we can't race with the other cars in the streets of pittsburg with the rest of the vintage racers? That would be some fun.

That would be fun. But it'd be pretty darn dangerous. We'd reach max speed very often, and there are tons of stone walls lining the course, along with some steep dropoffs.

Schools within 5 hours of Pittsburgh (and I've tested a few of these):
Pitt (about 5 minutes)
Case (less than 2 hours guys!)
Penn State
Akron
Ohio U.
OSU
Penn
Drexel
Lehigh
Virginia Tech (ok, more like 6, but its a scenic drive)
RIT
UM-D
It'll be a kickass time.

Drexel may be there if we get our car back from the UK in time and it is still in running order.
The other question should be, who if anyone is going to the SCCA divisionals for in DC the following weekend. Now that will be some stiff competition and a much larger track to show off in.
Mike, I haven't had a chance to speak with any of the PSU guys since the PVGP. What teams showed up and what were the results?
Thanks

Steve,
Unfortunately Mike didn't make it out for the PVGP. Again, this year only Pitt and PSU were able to attend the event. We were plagued by humidity and strong rain for about an hour but most drivers got in their runs before the rain. I don't have specific details, but I believe the placement of the cars went:
PSU 2005
Pitt 2005
Pitt 2004
CMU 2005
PSU 2004
If I hear of any other info I'll post that up here.
