Thank you to all the Allegheny volunteers and organizers for a great weekend! Your efforts were greatly appreciated. Great track!
A BIG thanks to Drew and Ken at Woodman for the quick turn around on our slashed tire from sprint 1 contact. We wouldn't have made it without their efforts.
Cheers all.

With Mosport as my home track to compare Pitt was amazing!! Track is challenging and rhythmic. The date probably had a lot to do with getting more cars. If I did a full season I may be in race budget healing mode by Oct. Regardless for anyone considering it next year it's worth pre planning. The event and organization was fantastic. Top notch. We had so much fun and will be doing it again for sure. Was incredible weather. Like summer.


Great racing everyone!

Heap big Wampum would probably get you in trouble too but it seems appropriate for a Porsche race.

Congrats to the 944 Cup 2017 Nationals East Championship Podium the Pitt Race.

Would love to bring the Nationals East back to Pitt if they keep the date in October.

Anyone know when RennPoints will add Pitt Race to the list of track records set this past weekend?

I've had a few emails about 2018 already. For a number of reasons, the Allegheny Region is not going to host a PCA Club Race in 2018. We are currently looking at 2019 schedules and determining if we will be able to move the event into a more favorable position on the race calendar. Stay Tuned.

Bummer. Was hoping to race there next year. Hopefully PCA can find a spot on the schedule that helps boost attendance. It's a nice track staffed by a great crew.

That’s not good news at all. Maybe you can work a DE in with the race, and change the date to get better attendance, but Pitt was a fun track, I’d like to be able to race there again in the future.

Well, ****! But I guess that makes it a little easier to commit to the High Plains race and the 6 hr enduro.
