Pittsburgh Gathering July 21st

Hi Folks - we are looking to stir up interest and get the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix (PVGP) get together back on track. It is a great weekend of all things cars, and a 928 Owner's Club sponsored event (Rick - Wyattsride - got us some goodies to hand out

).

I have missed this gathering since moving to Montana, but now that I am back home, I'd love to see this become a more significant event for this region. Sorry for the lateness in getting this message out - it is taxing to move and switch jobs

But let's not pass up the chance to resume this fun GTG again. Here's the link with some pictures from the last one in 2008 - Pittsburgh Gathering Pics.

So, now is the time to register for the PVGP 928 get together in Pittsburgh. It is coming up weekend after this, July 21st and 22d. To register, go the the Allegheny Region Porsche Club of America website and download the registration form. Follow the instructions posted there (website is ARPCA.com; and the registration details are at: MotorsportReg.com : PCA - Allegheny announces 2012 PVGP (Sat 21 - Sun 22 Jul, 2012) info at Schenley Park Golf Course, Pittsburgh, PA 15217 (9238)). DO NOT REGISTER DIRECTLY WITH THE PVGP.
The cost is - $75 (which includes a lunch and refreshments for 2 with a portion of that amount going to the PVGP for the charity). Bring your own cooler (which may include beer or wine from what I have seen in past years ). In addition, the 928OC has supplied some give-aways for our group. This event is sponsored by the 928 Owner's Club.

Rick and I will get there around 9:00 am or so on Saturday morning (the 21st), and start the line - look for the 928 OC banner. Cars roll in thru the morning, but there may be a bit of a traffic jam if you come after 11 am. We park on the grass on the golf course. Go to the PVGP site to download a map of the layout (Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix | Presented by Shop 'n Save). There will be thousands of cars, so look for the Porsche group. Anyway, we'll line up so that we can get cool pics of the cars.

We can also do a get together for a bite to eat afterwards, if there is interest. For sure next year, we'll make this a bigger event, with a scheduled fun run.
Well, I think that's it for now. Call me (412-328-4740) or shoot me an email if you have any questions - can't wait to see the gang and the cars!

Thank you for the pics. I grew up playing golf as a kid at Wildwood Country Club. Good times.

Bump - big day tomorrow and Sunday. If you are near, feeling blue for having missed the OCIC and not going to Hell (figuratively anyway), come on out for this gathering. Meeting on the lawn tomorrow morning from 9ish on. The whole event is a must for car guys and gals. Ours is a little part of that.
See you there.

Foggy and cloudy, will be clear in an hour or so. Perfect day for a gathering!
