Ron I will try to do my best with directions.

Here is a link to the offical track Directions page which has only a map.

http://www.pittsburghracewaypark.com/Directions/


Hope these help too.

Ok, From where you are, it looks like you would take I 81N to I 77N

Catch US 19N in west Virgina - Take that to I 79N follow on I 79N until after you get into PA. After you arrive in PA you will follow I 79N for about 34 Miles, then it will merge with I 70 - Take I 70East for about 35 Miles.

After you pass the New stanton exit#57, I 70 Merges with a bunch of diffrent routes here.

You want to get onto Toll Road/Turnpike 66N

NOT TURNPIKE 76

Take Toll/Turnpike 66N to The end of the toll road towards Delmont - This will have an interchange with US 22 Take the exit ramp to the right onto US 22 East

Take US 22 East towards New Alexandria approx. 10 Miles.
After you go through the intersection with sheetz on the right - the track entrance is about a 1/2 Mile up the road on the right. The Pit Stop Bar is right Before the Track entrance.

Hope this helps you out - and any of you other southern folks can try out these directions too.

Great! This is shaping up to be an all star event!
I wish I knew. Could be a 50pt and it will be very close, but I'm just not sure yet. If Ron H is in, that's another car I didn't expect, but I just got a PM from SlantedBrain that said it is his son's 1st birthday and he won't be able to attend.
You don't have to tell me, It would be hard on a much younger man! I'd say, if they forcast nice weather that weekend, you don't want to miss it.

I ran into a guy with a 1973 dart tonight at a car cruise. He seemed interested in running with the slant sixes, but that's not any solid reservation. I've got a couple of other local friends who have said they are going to come, but I don't really believe them.

I should call Jim Cox and see if Mike will also be bringing a car or if it's just the dart. (sure hope he get's that electrical gremlin fixed)

Paul, I got the rearend almost finished up. Just need to weld up the new spring perches and put it in. I plan on dropping the motor in on Monday night. My wife & baby will be out of town all next week, so I can put in a few extra hours on the car. My plan is to get the thing running and then swap over to the MSD set up as time permits. Things are starting to go my way on this project for once. . I want to get a least one night of test & tune time in before the race. Did you talk to anyone about putting up some cash for a street car bonus? Maybe even a nice tan 73 swinger will make a apperance at the race

_________________

I'm open to suggestions. I'm not really good at that part of things, but I don't mind giving it a try. How do I go about finding sponsorships?

Glad to hear you've got a window to get the project rolling. I can come out at least on night and help. Pick the night (other than thursday) I'll bring the elbow grease.

Is the /6 race being held on saturday? I might stop in and meet with everyone.

I no longer have any /6 cars, or 1970's Mopars of any kind for that matter. The closest thing I have to a /6 is the V6 in my '93 Shadow ES, that has run 15.90's mildly tuned at Keystone Raceway (now PRP).

I just happened to stop by this website just in time to learn of the race this weekend. I raced my cars a lot early this year, but not in the last 2-1/2 months. Got to finish building the new engine in my '87 Shelby Charger Turbo and get it to the track!

Slantedbrain - was that photo of your Valiant taken in a small parking lot off of Market street in downtown Pittsburgh? A while back I went to a business on Market Street and remember seeing a Valiant in the parking lot across the street.

I've got a full set of small bolt A body brake drums for sale, I'll post them in the for sale section.

Just checked the website - PRP thinks I'm gonna pay $15 to walk around the /6 cars for an hour or 2? They're crazy! I'll just walk down through the fields on the west side of the track, cross into the lower pit area, and come back up to the staging lanes. I need the exercise anyhow!
