2015 Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix
OFFICIAL S2KI@PVGP INFORMATION
Get excited... the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is next month! Here are the details. I'll update this post if anything changes.
Registration
Registration is now open for the event. The cost is $30.00 per car. Read below first, then click here: Register!
IMPORTANT: On the second page of the registration process, you must enter "S2KI Allegheny S2000 Owners Club" in the Car Club Affiliation field. That's the only way for the PVGP people to know how much space to reserve 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. They'll have your information at the gate when you arrive. Post up here after you've registered so that I can add you to the attendee list!
The organizers have asked that we all register by July 9th (I know the site says July 16th, but we're special) 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. However, there's a possibility that there won't be enough room for you to park in our designated S2KI area, so I recommend preregistering.
Caravan and Arrival
The main event for us will take place on Saturday, July 18th. The gates open at 9:30am. Walt (cilocar) and I will be there waiting to direct you to our area and line up the cars. You guys seem to be fans of caravanning places, so I'd like to use that as a tool 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 last year, 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, just in case the other roadsters get anxious and start creeping into our territory.
I know some of you are planning on going both days (myself included), 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 this year, probably up near the tree line where we were hanging out last year. 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
Hotel Suggestions
For those travelling from out of town for this event, I have two hotel suggestions:
Home2 Suites by Hilton Pittsburgh - McCandless, PA (a few bucks more than the Hampton, but it's brand new and in a cooler location)
Hampton Inn Pittsburgh - McKnight Rd.
These hotels aren't the closest hotels to the event, but they are the closest hotels to my house, which will serve as a home base throughout the weekend. I'm happy to give hotel suggestions for other parts of Pittsburgh - just send me a PM.
If you're new or want to relive the memories, here's the thread from last year's event: S2KI@PVGP 2014
That's all I've got. Please let me know if I'm leaving anything out or if you have any questions. I'm so excited!

Also for those that are interested, Sara and I will be participating in the PVGP Kick Off Rallye once again on Sunday July 5th. This is our 3rd year doing it and it is an awesome event. It is $75 to register and that includes a meal for you and your navigator at the Spaghetti Warehouse after the Rallye. (If you register now, it looks like the early registration discounted rate of $60 is still active).
You can find more info and register here: PVGP Rallye
Hope to see some of you come out for this!
