Our 28th event honored Audi as the Marque and Corvette as the Spotlight Car. Longtime volunteer and renowned racer Donna Mae Mims passed away in October, 2009 and was remembered as our Honorary Race Director. There was a display and parade of Corvettes and Yenko Sportscars - her two favorites.
Pittsburgh artist James Burke created our poster - he illustrated it in only 30 minutes! It depicts and Auto Union (now Audi) Type D racer. Jim is a gifted artist and unofficial ambasador for the Grand Prix who has been sketching our races for decades...thanks Jim!
The 2010 event was well attended despite the weather challenges. The temperature rose into the 90's almost every day with a high chance of sudden thunderstorms at any moment. Race weekend was blistering hot on Saturday and it rained during the parade on Sunday. Our racers, volunteers and fans persevered through it all and the reward was a healthy $150,000 donation to our charities.
