Annual Old Timers Meeting and Dinner

The Annual Pittsburgh Circle Track Club Old Timers Meeting and Dinner was held on November 10, 2012 at the Heidelberg Volunteer Fire Hall.

The ‘media’ portion of the program included racing films from the 1983 & 1984 as well as a PowerPoint show Bob Miller has created featuring all the attendees from 2011 as well as all of the Hall of Fame inductees from 1983-2011.

John Stasiak from Morgantown WV displayed his racing photos from the early 1950's up to the late 1980's. In addition to the John Stasiak collection, albums from the Dave Burt Collection, Mike Nelson Collection, Motordrome 70, Blackie Watt and Herb Scott photos were on display.

Jimmy Poljak and Yuengling "America's Oldest Brewery" provided the beer for the festivities. Dave Kohler introduced all the new attendees. Local motorsports photographer Bill Truby took pictures of the afternoon’s activities. The festivities started with a welcome from Don Gamble. Dave Kohler paid tribute to the deceased racers from this year. Gary Scott from Main Street Music provided the sound system.

Below are some photos from the 2011 event.

Blackie Watt Trophy Donation to the PCTC

Blackie Watt has donated his entire trophy collection to the Pittsburgh Circle Track Club. It is hoped that sometime in the spring of 2013 (after a massive cataloging), the PCTC will make the trophies available for sale and any money will go back to the club.

The Scott family did this with Herb's trophies and the gift was deeply appreciated. As more information becomes available it will be posted. Please note that the trophies will not be available for sale until sometime in the spring of 2013!

Thank you Blackie for this gift and for helping to preserve local racing history!!
