Pittsburgh Vintage GP Question
Pittsburgh Vintage GP Question
I registered for the 7/17 and 7/18 weekend thru PittStop (driving out Friday afternoon).
I've never been to the PVGP. Does one pickup registration materials at the event site on Saturday?

PVGP events a total bust
I drove 250 miles and paid over $350 to attend "events" that were supposedly MINI oriented.
Much to my dismay and total disappointment, there is ZERO organization and co-ordination for these events
There are no locations posted for events, nor times, nor contact #s.
I attended the Car Cruise Tuesday night. There was no evidence of either PittStop MINIs or P&W Motors, the sole dealership in W. PA. I had to go to the event co-ordinator to get a parking space, as I was rejected outright by the small group of classic Minis already parked. A total of three MINIs showed up...and we're supposed to be the Marque Car of the Year!!
Today I drove clear out to BeaveRun racetrack for the "MINI Day". I arrrive to find ONE car there, and those poor souls had driven up from Austin, TX
. Eventually, a total of 6 cars showed. The "event" called for a gathering of 1,000 MINIs. HAH!!! The very kind souls at BeaveRun went to the trouble to set up an auto-cross course for us and we got to do 3 laps on their road rally race track.
I was never contacted about a cancellation, and obvoiusly, neither were the folks who showed up.
So far, I have been extremely disappointed and more than a little pissed off. There are no reps from the local club, no organization whatsoever. I intend to demand my money back.
It's a good thing I have family here or the trip would have been a complete waste of time. I am furious and will resign from the PittStop MINI Club forthwith.
