Early June 2026
Greetings and Salutations ARPCA Members, The ARPCA has a full tank of high-octane events ready to take you from breakfast runs to apex hunting. Things kick off at The Lot, where the only thing smoother than a perfectly tuned flat-six might be the Belgian waffles. The Women of ARPCA will help members fine-tune their personal style, proving that great presentation isn’t just for concours events. For those who prefer their weekends with a little more throttle, Nelson Ledges offers plenty of opportunities to find the racing line, whether you’re attending HPDE, taking a few touring laps, or simply enjoying the scenic drive to the track. The Porsche Touring Crew continues its tradition of combining winding roads with exceptional dining, making sure no member suffers from an empty fuel tank or an empty plate. Later this month, we’ll gather for our monthly meeting before accelerating toward July’s packed calendar, including another Saturday at The Lot, the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, another HPDE event at Nelson Ledges, and a runway rendezvous with the Touring Crew. The ARPCA’s event calendar is running as strong as a well-maintained 911. So, buckle up and get ready to enjoy another Summer packed with enough Porsche enthusiasm to put a smile in every rearview mirror. Shawn Cressler – Web Support. Sharon Lunney – Newsletter Editor.
