Drivers Reception

Friday, August 2, 2024

In 2023 vintage race cars thunder through Squirrel Hill on their way to a car display on Forbes Avenue. On Friday night, our “Forbes Avenue of Speed” Race Car Parade & Display in nearby Squirrel Hill is a great opportunity to meet the drivers and see the race cars up close. Vintage racers will parade from the paddock, through Squirrel Hill, and then park up and down Forbes Avenue for a unique car show.

Racers leave the paddock in parade formation from the starting grid at 6:15, right after the driver’s meeting ends at 6:00. We encourage them to make the trip in their race cars and park along Forbes Avenue in Squirrel Hill. You can drive up in your support vehicle too, but we ask that you not park with the race cars. The event runs from 6:30 until 8:30 PM.

Friday’s parade and car show are open to the public and there is no charge to come and watch. This is a great way to meet our drivers, grab some dinner and shop in Squirrel Hill. Please join us for this preview of the cars that will race through Schenley Park on the weekend.
