Time again for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix (PVGP) held in Pittsburgh's Schenley park. July 19,20,21
Registration for the parking at the ARPCA area on German hill is here https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/2019-a...llegheny-144946 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. For more general PVGP information click > https://www.pvgp.org/general-event-information/ Looking forward to seeing many 914's parked here at this event. Come on down.... red circle is Porsche parking area ARPCA. Enter at Gate E |

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! Ron (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
