Test & Tune Day
Thursday, July 10, 2025
The PVGP Test & Tune Day is designed for those seeking additional seat time for driver improvement, vehicle and chassis tuning, and more practice time on the Pitt Race circuit prior to our races. This program permits advanced passing rules to maximize the use of time spent on the track, and it is also a great opportunity to shake down or test your car.
Eligibility
To participate in the Test & Tune, you must be entered as a racer at PIRC that weekend or Schenley Park the next weekend. A full day is the only option—no half-day price is available. Participants will be placed in run groups for the day, run as time certain, and equipped with ALS, Tow, and Fire. All cars are expected to participate in spirit with vintage racing rules, and PVGP has the right to reject any applicant for unsafe behavior.
