COMMUNITY SERVICE: Cars & Coffee (Sat., Aug. 2)
On Saturday, August 2, we will co-host a Cars & Coffee at TPC's amazing facility in Jessup, MD. Start looking around your house to see what you want to donate to this year's Erin Levitas Foundation Auction and then bring those items to the event. The auction is the foundation of our September fundraiser each year which raises $60K+ to support the oh-so important sexual assault prevention work of the foundation. It is through the generous item donations of our community that we are able to do that. Contact pat@pcapotomac.org for more info.

PCA SHENANDOAH AND FIRST SETTLERS INVITE PCA POTOMAC TO PREMIER AUTOCROSSAT RICHMOND INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY - Saturday, September 13, 2025
This event is not in the parking lot or near the facility, but actually on the track where they race the NASCAR and Indy cars. This is truly a special opportunity that autocross enthusiasts seldom experience in your own car. The setup will be a course that can be easily navigated with lots of openness for you to enjoy your car legally and safely while we run multiple cars one at a time. We expect at least 5 runs per car and based on times and participation, six runs are very possible this year. Each run is 1.5 laps of the race track.
Registration is limited to 50 cars. This is a first come first served event. The earlier you sign up, the earlier your run session. To learn more click the following link: RPM Autocross 2025 at RIR - SRPCA & FSR Event
In addition, they are also having the Richmond Porsche Meet 2025 on Sunday Sept 14. See link for more details: Richmond Porsche Meet 2025
Tire Rack Street Survival – SAVE THE DATE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26
PCA Potomac’s 5th annual Tire Rack Street Survival (TRSS) program will be held on Sunday, October 26, at the Washington Circuit of Summit Point Motorsports Park.
TRSS is a one-day event very similar to the Autocross format, in which our DE and AX instructors pass along car control knowledge to new and inexperienced teen drivers. The program is a great way to improve the skills of new drivers. It is also rewarding for instructors to work with teens to become safer and more educated drivers.
Students can register at: msreg.com/TRSSPCAPotomac25
Coaches and volunteers can register at: msreg.com/TRSS2025Volunteers
Please contact Doug Hough at streetsurvival@pcapotomac.org if you have questions.
