Joe Teplitz, PVGP Competition Director, exclaimed, “The event was amazing. We had great weather, more fans, and intense and exciting racing. We ran a total of 61 sessions over the three days. Because of the hard work of the volunteers, with the support of the drivers, a mind-boggling 58 of those sessions were under the green flag from start to checker. Thank you to our partners from Pitt Race, Steel Cities Region SCCA, and our sponsors.”
Rick Muck, Managing Director of AutoventureUSA which produced the Reunion in conjunction with the PVGP, thanks the staff and volunteers involved in making the event an outstanding success. Rick stated, “The 60th Reunion was an incredible event with over 70 cars attending and huge owner and enthusiast participation. The on and off-track events were a rare opportunity to interact with these historic cars and their owners that will not be duplicated for some time.”James Dolan, PVGP Chairman, said, ‘The PVGP Historics at Pitt Race was a tremendous success. Our goal to expand the field and quality of cars was exceeded. Race control and track crews worked flawlessly to allow every race to be on time and uninterrupted. The drivers had a great weekend of clean, competitive racing in front of great fans. We hosted the Vintage Sports 2000 North America and Historic Stock Car Racing Association groups, which brought the thunder of NASCAR to the PVGP Historics. I want to thank Joe Nemechek for assembling such a great group of drivers and cars.
PVGP fans experienced the Reunion with a collection of Ford GT40s and GT’s on track throughout the weekend. The PittRace facility continues to impress everyone with its excellent mix of track and facilities. It is one of America’s best race tracks and every driver comments how impressive the entire PVGP experience is.’
