Tire Rack Street Survival, Sunday, October 25 – ISO STUDENTS, COACHES, AND VOLUNTEERS

In a little over 3 weeks, our 2nd Tire Rack Street Survival (TRSS) programs this year will be held on Sunday, October 25, on the Washington Circuit of Summit Point Motorsports Park, in Summit Point, WV.

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

·              How to avoid distractions.

The cost is $175 per student. Parents are encouraged to attend and participate in the classroom sessions, and to watch their teenagers on the course. It's an invaluable real-time learning experience that saves lives. Past participants have told us that even teenagers who don’t think they will like – or need – the experience end up loving it.

Students can register at: msreg.com/TRSSPCAPotomacOct252026

Coaches and volunteers can register at:msreg.com/TRSSOct252026Volunteers

Contact Doug Hough at: streetsurvival@pcapotomac.org if you have questions.

DRIVE & DINEt to Morais Winery, Sunday November 15th

Join us for our traditional last driving event of the year! Our drive takes us to Morais Winery and Vineyard in Bealeton, VA.  Leaving from Ashburn we will traverse the wilds of Loudoun and Fauquier Counties, arriving at Morais Winery, where we will be greeted by food trucks, music, and....wine.  And as always, we will attempt to completely fill the parking lot with Porsches.   There is the famous Morais auto garages filled with Porsches, Ferraris, American muscle cars, and what may be the largest Citroen collection this side of the Atlantic. Registration opens 11 October at 0800.

RALLY IS BACK! - Sunday, November 1st

We are excited to have Rally back on the Potomac calendar. Members, Angel & Chris (aka Mr & Mrs Petrone) have designed and organized a photo gimmick rally through Virginia Hunt Country. It promises to be fun, scenic, showcasing the beautiful backroads of Northern Virginia, finishing at Lost Barrel Brewing, MIddleburg, for lunch.

Inspired by a classic spy mission, teams will navigate using rally instructions, while completing a photo-based observation challenge. Success depends not on speed, but on careful observation, teamwork, and attention to detail.

This event is intended to be accessible to first-time rally participants, and an enjoyable challenge for experienced competitors.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN -  msreg.com/huntcountryrally26
