Benefactor Program/Sponsorship Program

Profuse thanks to the 20+ very generous members who have contributed so far………..we could us more, so please consider helping out!!

Last year we launched the Club Race Benefactor Program, allowing members of our amazing PCA Potomac community and beyond to make donations towards supporting our annual Club Race.  You heard the call then and we hope you hear the call once again! 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!

The slate for this year’s election will consist of one or more nominees for each open position and will be presented to the Club by the Nominating Committee in October.

Before the slate is finalized, Club members may submit additional nominations. Any member in good standing may be nominated through a written nomination supported by fifteen (15) active and/or family members in good standing.

All nominations must be submitted to the Nominating Committee (NomComm@pcapotomac.org) no later than September 28, 2026.

We encourage members to participate in the nomination and election process and thank you for your continued involvement in the Club.

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

 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.

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.

Save the date! - Registration details coming very soon.
