What to do?

[den]

I am in a quandry. Tomorrow is the day of the Wellington Vintage Fair, which will be full of old machinery and steam engines, all restored to working condition.

But, tomorrow is the first Formula 1 race.

In Wellington they'll have traction steam engines, old tractors, hot air engines, and early internal combustions engines.

But, the first Formula 1 race.

Tomorrow Wellington will host the world's largest gathering of steam-powered motor cars, all in working order.

But... Formula 1.

Steam.

F1

You blokes would probably like the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix (http://www.pittsburghvintagegrandprix.com/) very, very much.

This Vintage Grand Prix is, reportedly, one of the largest in the country and is run on a course that can only be described as "torturous." Cars have been totalled, and racers have acually died in this event (though not many).

It's run in Pittsburgh's Schenley Park (http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/cp/maps/schenley_park_map.html), though I don't know the exact route. Keep in mind that the roads shown on the referenced map are also all on a hillside....
