Default Vintage racing from the cockpit of a Lotus 7

What a course! And cool car. I have not been to the PVGP in several years but this reminded me why I love vintage racing so much. Unlike any other course in the USA this Pittsburgh PA race takes place in a park with light poles, curbs, stone walls, stone bridges, serious blind bends and drop offs.

There is over 20 min worth... of great video, although it does start off shaky. Vintage racing was my dream but by the time I acquired the tools, garage space, and car, damn arthritis prevented me from going forward. And I sold the car. That eventually lead me to buying an S2000 as it required so little effort to take to the track but my heart was always with vintage racing. Just look at those other beautiful race cars as he drives through the pits after race.

I agree with the others. Very cool and thanks for sharing.

Although, I cannot help but wonder. As legendary as those cars are how an S2000 would have fared against them? .
