Legends of Schenley Park
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is grateful to all the drivers that compete and we truly appreciate when they return to race with us year after year. They make our Schenley Park vintage races so special. To acknowledge their contributions, we created the “Legends of Schenley Park” in 2016 – honoring racers that have raced through the streets of Schenley Park for 15 or more years.
Once they reach 15 races, Legends are presented with a commemorative patch and chair. To date, 64 drivers have qualified. Most have been recognized and awarded embroidered race suit patches and a special gift. Cliff McCandless from nearby Grove City is eligible to qualify this year and will be recognized during the Driver’s Meeting in Schenley Park on Friday, August 2 at 5:30 pm.
