2021 Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix (July 24-25 2021)
OFFICIAL HONDA/ACURA @ PVGP INFORMATION
I talked to the organizers and so far we are a go for the 2021 PITTSBURGH VINTAGE GRAND PRIX! This is our seventh year (should have been eighth)! Here are the details. I will update this post if anything changes.
Like in 2019 I am opening the group up to ALL Honda/Acura vehicles. So feel free to pass onto our fellow Honda/Acura enthusiast!
Registration
Registration is now open for the event. The cost is $40.00 per car (plus a $2.50 credit card processing fee). Read below first, then go to PVGP.com to register for the Asian Car Show.
IMPORTANT: After you register, please send me a PM with your name, email address and vehicle information. There is no Car Club Affiliation field like in previous years, so the attendee list is how I'll get a count for the organizers to block off space for us. You'll get an email confirmation, but nothing will be sent to you in the mail and you don't need to bring any paperwork to the event (despite what the registration site says). They'll have your information at the gate when you arrive.
The organizers have asked that we all register by July 11th so they have time to map out the different club areas. I'll post a reminder a couple of days before then. Just to be clear, there are no refunds and the event is rain or shine. Also, if you absolutely can't preregister, you can pay at the gate on Saturday ($50 instead of $40). However, there's a possibility that there won't be enough room for you to park in our designated Honda/Acura area, so I recommend preregistering.
Caravan and Arrival
The main event for us will take place on Saturday, July 24th. The gates open at 9:30am. I am hoping that Walt (cilocar) will be there waiting to direct you to our area and line up the cars. Caravanning in is the best way to streamline the arrival process. If everyone could get there at the same time, or at least in a couple of groups, it would be much easier to get everyone parked. As we get closer to the event, I'll post information about a caravan meeting spot. It will most likely be the same place as the previous years, but I need to confirm that nothing has changed. You definitely don't have to caravan in. If you're preregistered and you've posted here that you're coming, we'll save a spot for you. I would still suggest getting there as early as possible though.
I know some of you are planning on going both days, but on Sunday you can come whenever you want. No caravan necessary. Sundays are much less crowded, so even though we won't have a special blocked off section, you'll probably be able to park together anyway.
Lunch, etc.
You can bring a picnic lunch if you'd like or you can buy food there. The food for sale is county fair style - think Italian sausage sandwiches and funnel cakes sold from a trailer. This is a BYOB event, if you're into that kind of thing. We've been approved to put up a pop-up tent (just one - I'll bring it) for shade, probably up near the tree line where we've been in prior years. I recommend bringing lawn chairs, sunscreen, and plenty of water. It gets hot out there! And of course, wear comfy shoes.
Here's some additional info about the PVGP rules and such: General Event Information
That should be everything! Please let me know if you have any questions at all. Can't wait to see yinz!
