Draft – Mid June – 2021
ARPCA Members,
Greeting and Salutations! So fellow movie fans I have to ask, am I last person to realize that The Avengers Headquarters is actually One Porsche Drive in Atlanta? Tony Stark may drive Acuras and Audis but he chose Porsche’s North American HQ as the home of the Avengers. But it turns out that 5 Marvel movies (more info here) have used the location. It is a really cool looking building after all. Maybe stop by in real life? Use the test track? Join a team of superheroes, one can dream I suppose.
On a less cinematic note June for the ARPCA has a number of great activities. We are now a little over a month from the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix (more info here.) It might be time to bust out the wax and detailing tools if you plan to show off your shining example of fine German engineering in Schenley Park.
Hope to see you out there!

Porsche Touring Crew – June 2021 Event (Registration Currently Closed)
PTC Adopts “Green Agenda;”
Votes Porch Dining with World-Class Views
A well-known Spanish playwright wrote, “Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.”
ARPCA’s Porsche Touring Crew plans to live-out that concept by returning to the historic Summit Inn for its June 22 driving event. Located atop Summit Mountain in Farmington, PA, the Inn’s sweeping 60-mile natural views will paint an emerald green backdrop for PTC’s veranda luncheon.
