Pittsburgh
Vintage Grand Prix
  

  
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania hosted its 25th
Vintage Grand Prix in 2007 with a 10-day event that included two weekends of racing. The first weekend included eight groups of competition at the BeaveRun Motorsports Complex north of Pittsburgh. The second weekend consisted of six competition groups in the Schenley Park Vintage Races.
   
Other events included a Kick-Off Rallye on Craig Street in Oakland, the Black Tie & Tailpipes event at Oakmont Country Club, an Invitational Car Show on Walnut Street in
Shadyside, a Jeff Gordon appearance in Homestead, a Car Cruise at the Waterfront, the Downtown Pittsburgh Parade & Car Display,  and a Grand Prix Tune-Up at Bossa Nova.
   
Schenley Park was the site for the American, Asian, British, German and Italian Car Shows, as well as the Larry Smith Memorial Car Show. The Western Pennsylvania Triumph Association hosted British Car Day, and the PVGP Thunder Run motorcycle event celebrated its 7th year.
