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!

Thanks to incredible supporters like you, last year's event raised nearly $80,000 to support sexual violence prevention - and with your continued support, we can make an even bigger impact this year. We're especially excited this time around: we'll be auctioning off an entire car, so it's shaping up to be one of our biggest and most memorable events yet!"

Charity Laps at Summit Point Motorsports Park on Saturday, September 19th at lunchtime. Come to the charity tent on Saturday morning to sign up. No EVs or Hybrids or Motorcycles allowed. No pre-registration required. For more info: pcap.partnership@erinlevitas.org 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.

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.

Virginia Brunch is the first Saturday of each month held at Firebird's Wood-Fired Grille. There is substantial parking coming off Linton Hall Road so we can park together. We will stake out a parking area that is a short walk to the restaurant. The restaurant opens at 11 am, so plan on arriving before so we can park together.
