This year's "Thunder in the 'Burgh" will be held Sat-Sun July 16th-17th. It is held on Pittsburgh's North Shore, between Heinz Field and PNC Park, home to the Steelers and Pirates respectively. Drag races are held on General Robinson St. that runs between the 2 stadium parking lots, which serve as the main parking grounds for the cruise in crowd. The area is situated just across the river from Pittsburgh's scenic downtown. It's really a unique event. A lot of neat cars turn out for it, and it has a sort of tailgate crowd kinda feel being that it's held in our Steelers/Pirates lots. Alot of camaraderie and alot of grudge matches. Sort of an excuse for everyone in Pittsburgh to come out, have a burger or hot dog and beat the snot out of their car once or twice down the "strip" for kicks. Definitely worth checking out if you're anywhere near Pittsburgh in July.
