The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, presented by Shop 'n Save has grown into a 10 day motorsport event with two weekends of racing! The kick-off weekend launches our event from the BeaveRun Motorsports race track. A bellicose big-bore battalion of 1960’s and 70’s legends will roar through the Pittsburgh International Race Complex (PIRC or PittRace) formerly known as BeaveRun in Beaver Falls on the July 13-15 weekend.
