Earlier this month, it was announced that Pittsburgh International Race Complex has been sold and will no longer operate as a motorsports facility. The PVGP has enjoyed an outstanding partnership with the track since launching our Historics there in 2004. It has been a cornerstone of our event for more than two decades and a valued home for the Steel Cities SCCA. We’re grateful for the memories, the friendships, and the incredible racing we’ve shared there.

Join us on Saturday, November 1, as we say goodbye to a legendary venue. In a generous gesture to the motorsport community, Pitt Race is opening its gates one final time for a special farewell event supporting the PVGP charities. There will be a car show on the VDA and charity rides all day. Smokin’ Steer will be open all day and karting is available.
