Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Shifting Gears
Canceling Race Week while Featuring Smaller Driving Events
Excerpts from the – Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association:
After consulting with our committees, sponsors and city officials the PVGP has decided to cancel its July 17-26, 2020 Race Week.
Most major automotive events throughout the summer have already been canceled due to COVID-19. The PVGP waited as long as possible before making a decision, hoping the situation in Pennsylvania would improve. This is a difficult decision, but I am encouraged by the patience and enthusiasm of our volunteers.
