PVGP - That tme again 2015

The Pittsburgh Vintage grand Prix - now in its 33d year. Come join hundreds of your fellow p-car enthusiasts as we again gather on the lawn at Schenley Park to enjoy our cars, the races and above all, the camaraderie that has grown over the years. We always have a nice gathering of sharks - the 928 Owner's Club has been one of the sponsors of this event for the past several years. Now is the time to register and get this event on your calendar.

The PVGP takes place in scenic Schenley Park in the heart of Pittsburgh. This is one of 2 vintage races that occur on public streets in the world, the other being Monaco. It is also a significant charity fundraiser – proceeds are donated through the PVGP to the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and the Allegheny Valley School.

This year promises to be the best yet, with the Janis Joplin Porsche from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and with some new events taking place, like the Top 10 Peoples’ Choice, a concours open to all registered Porsches. Here are the highlights of the activities to enjoy:

Friday, July 17:

Saturday, July 18:

Sunday, July 19:

General prices are as follows:

• Saturday or Sunday registration for 1 car and TWO people: $85 (includes parking, door prizes, lunch and soft beverages)
• Additional meal ticket for either day: $20 per person

I definitely need to make one of these,,, sounds like a lot of fun. I am just coming back from Europe the week before though so might be tight this year..... will see.

One month out folks! Time to register. This year promises to be an exceptional event. We have a number of sharks coming in from out of town too. Also, check out the website, as we have discounts at 5 hotels for the out of towners.

Just registered. Pre-registration closes July 13th, I don't know what financial penalties are in store if you wait to last minute. I assume there will be info or an attempt to park together?? If, as advertised, there are 2000 cars there, we need to find a landmark or something. Not quite like Hershey.

Rendezvous at Ricks? I have no idea if that is advisable geographically.

For any out of towners like yourself Steve, we'll have a plan together to get you guys from your hotel/B&B to a meeting place like Eat n Park in Wexford and then to Schenley Park. Even though there will be 2000 or so cars, they are all grouped together by manufacturer. When you arrive, you will be directed to where all the Porsches are parked (GATE E I believe). I'll be helping park the Porsches as they come in, so I'll already have a spot designated (just like the last few years) for just the 928's. I'll have the 928 OC sign there. We will also have a spot under a tree close to our cars for our group.

About 3:00 pm I'll be able to lead the group back to Wexford where you can either go back to your Hotel/B&B for a rest. Or come straight to my house with me to start the party. Hopefully anyone that stops off at their Hotel/B&B will show up later at my house.

As far as a penalty for not Pre-Registering. If you are not Pre-Registered and you arrive, you will have to pay right there or will not be able to park with the Porsches. The cost will be the same or slightly higher.
