Tire Rack Street Survival, Sunday, October 26 – ISO COACHES AND VOLUNTEERS (A FEW STUDENTS, TOO)

In a little over 3 weeks, the 2025 Tire Rack Street Survival (TRSS) program will be held, on Sunday, October 26, on the Washington Circuit of Summit Point Motorsports Park, in Summit Point, WV. We have 27 students registered, and could use at least 7 more coaches and 5 more volunteers to ensure an effective program for everyone. Although we are still looking for a few more students, we may need to create a waiting list until we are assured of a sufficient coach and volunteer corps.

TRSS is a one-day, hands-on, real-world driving skills program for young drivers (15-21 years old). Students will have almost half a day in their own car with a PCA instructor, learning car control and safety maneuvers. These lessons will be reinforced in interactive classroom sessions. Students will learn: How to avoid accidents; What to do when they skid; What to do when other drivers do stupid things; How to be safe when driving with others in the car; and How to avoid distractions.

 The cost is $125 per student. Parents are encouraged to attend and participate in the classroom sessions. It's an invaluable real-time learning experience that saves lives. 

Coaches and volunteers can register at:msreg.com/TRSS2025Volunteers

Students can register at:msreg.com/TRSSPCAPotomac25 .

Please contact Doug Hough at streetsurvival@pcapotomac.org if you have questions.
