There is a ride planned on Friday and the event on Sat & Sun.

I spoke with the local president Bob Nadin and event organizer Jay Malobicky about having a dedicated parking area for 914's to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 914 and got a very positive response.

It also helps that a fellow teener owner works directing the parking.

The Porsche parking area will only accommodate about 250 cars and last year I was told twice before I even got to the gate that unless you were preregistered the Porsche parking was full. (I was) So to be assured a spot register early.

The fee includes parking on the lawn for 1 car, a catered meal for 2 and liquid refreshments (non-alcohol) bring your own chairs of course.

Looking forward to seeing many 914's parked here at this event.

What a wonderful event!

I grew up in Squirrel Hill and used to walk to the event and later drive my yellow 911 Cab to participate with the other Porsche members.

I left Pittsburgh in 2001 for Ft. Lauderdale but have all of the PVGP posters framed and hanging in my office. 1994 had Porsche as the Marque of the Year with a cool 550 as the poster car. If anyone has a PVGP poster #1 lying around I need it to complete my collection (yeah, right, NOT holding my breath!)

Anyway, this is a fantastic MUST SEE event, not to be missed. Schenley Park is beautiful and perfect for the longest vintage car race held in an American city; very undulating but with good straight-aways. In fact, I learned to drive there. I still remember Myron Cope riding around on a gold cart saying hello to everyone and signing autographs.

Now I can't complain that I will miss it this year...Parade is in Boca just 30 minutes away from me. I want to take my 914 but it just developed a leak in an injector which is putting some gas in the engine compartment. I posted about replacement earlier on the forum but no replies yet so hoping this might illicit a response.

Keep 'em on the Road!
