Sports Car Racing Returns to Put-in-Bay, Ohio for 2012 PiB Road Races Reunion-- Sept 20-22

March 9, 2012 — Organizers of the Put-in-Bay Road Races Reunion (PIBRRR) are making plans for the fourth consecutive year of offering one of the most enjoyable events on the vintage sports car / vintage racing scene. PIBRRR is a relaxed, low-key event that celebrates the early days of U.S. post-war road racing by mixing a variety of activities all around the theme of capturing the memory of the races that took place back in the ‘50s and early ‘60s on the public roads of historic South Bass Island -- a few miles offshore in Lake Erie near Sandusky, Ohio.

The big news for 2012 is as follows:

• New date! The event has moved to a Thursday, Friday, Saturday format on September 20-22, 2012. (Previous PIBRRRs took place on the Monday-Wednesday prior to the Fourth of July weekend.)
• Sports car racing returns! Following a successful demonstration race in 2011, PIBRRR 2012 will introduce a day of “road course” racing for qualified cars on a temporary course at the Put-in-Bay Airport on Friday (an extra cost option*).

Put-in-Bay Reunion 2012 - Scouting Report

Written by Bob Williams

What to expect/Why Change the Date? The 2012 edition of the Put-In-Bay Road Race Reunion, complete with Race History, period sports car races and an island car show will be September 20, 21, 22, 2012.

Why change the date for 2012? The first and last races we celebrate were held in September/October. Attendees will benefit from early autumn weather (temperatures in the high sixties to mid-seventies); reduced numbers of island visitors, less Golf Cart traffic and a more leisurely experience. Recreate great history about sports car racing on South Bass Island, Put-In-Bay Style.

My wife, Linda, and I visited South Bass Island, home of the Put-In-Bay Road Races Reunion, scheduled for September 20 -22 (Thurs, Fri, Sat) 2012. Our intent was to preview all things island related on the same weekend - but one year in advance. Here is the report!
