Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix races tomorrow

Should be great weather.
200,000/250 000 expected for all the events.
Pittsburgh's Schenley Park is the scene of our nation’s largest vintage race event and the only one run on actual city streets. 150 vintage racers gather here each July to test their skills and entertain the crowd. The PVGP races through Schenley Park are considered by many drivers to be the most challenging race course worldwide. The 2.33 mile circuit has 23 turns, haybales, manhole covers, phone poles and stone walls.

I was out there many years ago for it. Very cool event. Sadly, the race got stopped halfway through due to a fatal crash. I believe a tie rod on an old MG broke and the driver lost control. He was thrown from the vehicle and then the vehicle rolled on top of him. Terrible accident.
