2012 PVGP Grand Prix Weekend
Saturday, July 21, 2012
Wow, what a day! So many great old cars, many of them racing around the ‘track’, which is really the roads in and around Schenley Park in Pittsburgh, PA.
There are many different marques, but mostly foreign makers today. There was an American car section, but only a few special cars, one of which I snapped. The Italian section was so crowded with people I couldn’t get clear shots no matter how patient I was, but I did my best. Lotta VW’s, with a few special photos and one showing the hillside covered with them. A good number of Mercedes and BMW. There were tons of Minis but I only snapped a couple unique ones. And of course I photographed a few Saabs, Audis, Lancias, Datsun/Nissans, Mazdas, and even a Honda. A Cobra, some Lamborghinis, Ferraris. And a couple Porsches on the track.
Sunday was nice too, but sunnier, so hotter. Saturday was cloudy but bright, great for photography. There was more glare and more shadows on Sunday, but we did our best, while trying to stay cool ourselves. We were under the tree by the Porsche tent in the middle of a couple of great turns with elevation changes.
I labeled the photos as well as I could see from the thumbnails, but I think I got a few wrong, so I’ll be going back and editing. Please comment if you see that I still have something wrong, esp if it’s YOUR car!
