Schenley Park is the scene of our nation’s largest vintage race event. 150 vintage racers gather here each July to test their skills and entertain the crowd. The PVGP races through Schenley Park are considered by many drivers to be the most challenging race course worldwide. The 2.33 mile circuit has 23 turns not to mention haybales, manhole covers, phone poles and stone walls. The Grand Prix in Schenley Park is the only vintage race event that is run on actual city streets – made possible by our Pit Crew of 1,000 volunteers.
The best place to watch the races is from the 456 acre Bob O’Connor Golf Course where the Grand Prix stages an International Car Show with over 2,000 vehicles on display. These car shows are mainly supported by local car clubs but are also open to the public for only $30 for the weekend. In addition to the car shows there are dozens of sponsor tents, a village full of vendors and plenty of food and refreshment vendors. 200,000 spectators are expected to come out and watch the races – there is no cost for spectators to enter, but we do encourage donations. Proceeds from the event benefit charity.
There is so much that happens on the Race Weekend in Schenley Park that we can’t fit it all on one page – so here are some quick links to individual events that occur over the weekend.
There are practice/warm-up sessions each morning. Qualifying races take place on Saturday with the Featured Races on Sunday. Both afternoons feature exciting racing as groups are separated by engine size and year of manufacture. There is little difference to spectators between Saturday’s and Sunday’s track action as over 175 cars will compete.
EXPANDS MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH GREENTECH AUTOMOTIVE, INC.
CORONA, CA – (Marketwired – June 15, 2015) – Saleen Automotive Inc. (OTCQB: SLNN)
Following up the successful debut of the Saleen model lineup at the Shanghai Auto Show, Saleen Automotive and GreenTech Automotive, Inc. (GTA) have expanded their existing marketing and distribution agreement through the signing of a new Intellectual Property License Agreement. This agreement includes expanded distribution as well as an exclusive Saleen brand and technology licensing agreement for the Asian market.
Since the initial marketing and distribution agreement, executed March 2014, GTA has fully campaigned the lineup of Saleen vehicles at the Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Shanghai Autoshows to much fanfare and local market brand acceptance.
“Just getting a little attention in any market can sometimes take decades of persistence,” said Steve Saleen, CEO of Saleen Automotive. “GTA and their team have managed to quickly bring Saleen into the forefront of the performance market in China, and have proven that they are dedicated to the continuing expansion of the Saleen brand and product distribution in the rest of Asia.”
A new entity, Saleen Motors International (SMI), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of GTA and not affiliated with Saleen, will be used by GTA to distribute Saleen branded products.
This agreement also coincides with the release of the new 2015 Mustang, which is available globally for the first time in its 50-year history. With China’s automotive market being the largest in the world with 19.71 million new cars sold last year and with global automotive sales slated to reach 117 million new cars annually by 2020, according to JD Power, this marketing, distribution, and licensing agreement couldn’t have come at a better time.

The fastest weekend in June. This is but one description for the Ford Nationals by Carlisle Events. For an unprecedented third year, SOEC again hosted Steve Saleen and company for a weekend of Power In The Hands of a Few. A weekend filled with first introductions, information sharing, bench racing and countless autographs.
Many thanks goes to Jim Dvorak and Mothers Polish for supplying goody bags, a sample of their California Gold car wash and microfiber towel to our first 48 show registrants. This event relationship dates back to 2009. Show planning and support is the backbone of these gatherings and we must recognize the efforts of Rudy & Betsy Beyer, Mertz family, Boring family, and Greg Wackett for their tireless effort. Lastly, gratitude to all participants, enthusiasts and owners that make these events so special.

As the introductory model to the Saleen S302 model lineup, the 302 White Label touts an incredible list of features in a single package. Keeping with the formula that Saleen uses to produce its instantly recognizable vehicles, the White Label model adds to the value element through increased horsepower, handling and styling. Utilizing a 302 cubic inch V8 engine this pony produces 450HP through a naturally aspirated configuration that keeps power where it should be, on demand. In addition to increased horsepower, each Saleen White label model also receives additional upgrades including Aerodynamics and Aesthetics, braking, and Saleen specific suspension components that all work together balancing out the ‘Speed, Science and Style’ trifecta that is embedded in each Saleen vehicle produced. As part of the Saleen manufacturing process, each vehicle is cataloged and serialized with its own unique Saleen VIN, a process that lends itself to the collectability and high resale values that Saleen vehicles have been known for over the past 30 years. Handling on the 302 White Label model is maintained by the Saleen S4 bushings, links and specific-rate suspension springs with ground control being managed by the Saleen styled 20″ wheels and Z rated tires. Aerodynamics and Aesthetics on the 302 White Label include a rear valance redesign which incorporates a S302 specific package consisting of a high downforce rear spoiler atop a Saleen decklid insert. Additional Saleen specific aesthetics include model specific interior and exterior badging, reinforcing the amazing lineage that makes up this Saleen vehicle. (Info courtesy of Saleen.com)
