In a little over 2 weeks, the Tire Rack Street Survival (TRSS) program will be held: Sunday, October 25, on the Washington Circuit of Summit Point Motorsports Park. We can accommodate more students. We also welcome more coaches and volunteers. TRSS is a one-day, hands-on, real-world driving skills program for young drivers. 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. 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.

Monthly Brunches
Monthly Brunches - First and Third Saturdays
The easiest way to start participating in PCA Potomac is to attend one of our monthly brunches where we casually get together on the first Saturday of the month in Gainesville, Virginia and third Saturday of the month in Glen Echo, Maryland. This is a great way to meet other Porsche enthusiasts, talk about your cars, maybe trade some tips, or just hang out and enjoy the morning. Everyone is welcome, including newcomers, out of town PCA members and visitors from any region.
