Kick off Race Weekend the right way, right at trackside.
The Drivers Reception returns to the Schenley Park Visitor’s Center for the first time since 2021, and there’s no better place to start your weekend. Located beside the Panther Hollow Bridge and directly along the course, this is your chance to step out of the paddock and into the spotlight, surrounded by fellow racers, crews, and fans who appreciate what you bring to the streets of Schenley Park.
From 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM, the track in front of the Visitor’s Center becomes a gathering point for the entire racing community. Cars on display, stories shared, and a relaxed atmosphere that lets you connect with other drivers before the competition begins.
At 6:15 PM, racers will parade from the paddock around the circuit to the reception, arriving at 6:30. They will park their race cars trackside in front of the Visitor’s Center for all to see, with the option to arrive in a support vehicle instead.
Thanks to Broad Arrow Auctions, A Hagerty Company, this is a complimentary event for participants. No tickets, no barriers, just a great evening with the people who make this event special.
Schenley Park Visitor Center
The Schenley Park Visitor Center sits right where the action happens, alongside the Panther Hollow Bridge and directly on the course, making it a natural home for our Driver Reception. Its recent transformation by the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy reflects a shared commitment with the City of Pittsburgh to preserve and elevate this historic park while keeping it active and accessible. That same partnership allows the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix to bring racing to these streets each summer, using the restored Visitor Center as a gathering place where drivers, crews, and fans connect in the heart of Schenley Park.
