Vintage Sports Car Racing
Dates:
Sept. 24-26, 2018
For the 10th consecutive year, the sounds of the open exhausts of MGs, Porsches, Triumphs, Morgan Trikes, Turners and many other unique sports cars of the past will reverberate off the buildings along Delaware Street and the roads around the island which were the exact same course that the cars raced in the past.
Much more than just a vintage race, the Put-in-Bay Road Races Reunion (PIBRRR) also welcomes owners/drivers of non-racing vintage sports cars of all types to come and participate in various events and activities: honoring island's racing history, social gatherings, a car show, original course and airport-track touring, rocker cover races and more. Join us to spend the day watching a wild array of vintage and historic sports cars. Race viewing is FREE!
