ARPCA Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 2020 – Cancelled
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.

PVGP 2020 – Parade Laps
2020 Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix – by Ed Rice
Sorry folks – I cannot do it. I simply cannot have a summer go by without having some sort of Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix activity! I know this year’s event was effectively cancelled due to the Corona virus, but there are still some things we can do to celebrate what is our Club’s single biggest social and charitable event each year.
On Sunday, July 26th, we would have been parking on the lawn for Day 2 of the PVGP at Schenley Park. This year, that day is going to be a quiet, uneventful Sunday morning. Many will go to services or enjoy breakfast out on the back deck and listen to the birds.
I on the other hand, plan to drive down to Schenley Park, and do an informal “parade lap” or two around the road course. Read more
