Early September 2026
Esteemed members of the ARPCA The fall is shaping up to be a terrific season to get behind the wheel. Kevin Rhuel, our Tourmeister, would like to remind members that the Steel City Tour on September 26th is ready to take us on a fascinating trip through Pittsburgh’s industrial past. This Porsche-only adventure explores the people, places and events that helped make Pittsburgh the Steel Capital of the World. We’ll visit the Bost Building, Carrie Blast Furnaces and historic Pump House, with a catered lunch along the way. Please note that the registration deadline is Tuesday, September 15th. Bring your Porsche, sensible shoes and your curiosity; hard hats are provided! September 3rd is our ARPCA Monthly Meeting at Keystone Vintage Motorsport, hosted by owner John Guehl. Then, on September 11th–13th, ARPCA heads to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for HPDE, offering three days of track time and instruction for drivers looking to hone their track skills. If Mid-Ohio isn’t enough Porsche excitement for one weekend, the Richmond Porsche Meet takes place September 11th–12th, giving members an opportunity to join Porsche enthusiasts from the First Settlers and Shenandoah Regions for a weekend of great events September continues with the Women of ARPCA – Pasta & More event on September 21st at Mineo’s, where participants will make ravioli and tiramisu before sitting down for dinner and vino pairings. The Porsche Touring Crew returns to Deep Creek Lake on September 22nd for a visit to Dutch’s at Silver Tree. While September 26th offers Porsche fans the Steel City Tour, we can also opt to start the day at The Lot at Edgewater, where great food and company awaits. October keeps the momentum going with the ARPCA Monthly Meeting at Porsche Pittsburgh on the 8th, followed by the Columbus Day Tour & Dinner at Narcisi Winery on October 12th, featuring a choice of driving adventures and a joint gathering with the Audi Club. On October 21st, the Women of ARPCA will trade horsepower for a little core power with Pilates Plus at Porsche Pittsburgh.
