Historical NotesTiming device used during the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Starting out as a one-day race in 1983, the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix has now grown into a 10-day festival of car shows, parades, a Rally, a Black Tie Gala, and two race weekends. With 225,000 spectators, the Grand Prix in Schenley Park has become the nation's largest vintage race event and the only one staged on city streets. Its mission is to produce a world-class vintage racing event in order to raise funds to help provide residential care, treatment and support for developmentally disabled individuals in the Pittsburgh region. Because of the generous support and contributions from sponsors and the dedication of thousands of volunteers, they have been able to donate more than $2 million to charity through the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Allegheny Valley School since 1983.
