If you are able to help contribute to the event, we would appreciate your support! We cannot do this race without generous sponsors, volunteers, and racers! Please contribute by clicking HERE.

If your company would like to be a 2026 Rock the Summit Sponsor, it’s not too late! Please reach out to clubrace@pcapotomac.org for details on the program and its benefits! We can’t do this without you!

PCA POTOMAC CONCOURS: *** Volunteers Needed ***

The Concours program is in need of volunteers to assist with Registration, Judging, and Scoring Tabulation.  Come join the fun, learn something new, and get up-close and personal with lots of beautiful German machinery.  We’re looking for a couple of people to help with registration and scoring tabulation on the day of the event, and roughly 16 individuals to participate as judges.

Although some experience with either judging or showing a car is helpful, it’s not necessary as we will help and guide you along the way.  A more comprehensive judges training will be provided later in the summer or early fall.  Commitment is what we need, as we only host 2 - 3 judged events per year, while other concours events (Porschefest & Gathering of The Faithful) are People’s Choice events.  Please send an email expressing your interest to: concours@pcapotomac.org
