The fifth annual Put-in-Bay Road Races Reunion (PIBRRR) was held August 27-29 at historic Put-in-Bay, Ohio. Launched in 2009 by vintage racing veterans Jack Woehrle and Bob Williams, the annual event celebrates sports car races that were held on the streets of the town of Put-in-Bay on Lake Erie’s South Bass Island from 1952 to 1959 and again in 1963 by re-creating the atmosphere of sports car racing from that bygone era.
Because of the island’s isolated nature, the public roads that were used for racing half a century ago remain virtually unchanged today, and even though the racing now takes place at Put-in-Bay Airport, participants were able to tour the original circuit. Also on the schedule were historic presentations, panel discussions, a rally, a car show and various social encounters.
