Coaches and Volunteers Needed for Tire Rack Street Survival® (TRSS) Schools

PCA Potomac is hosting the second of two TRSS schools for teen drivers at Summit Point on Sunday, October 25, and is in need of In-car Coaches and Volunteers. The primary emphasis of TRSS is a "hands-on" driving experience in real-world situations! Students will use their own car to learn about its handling limits and how to control it. This school is not about fastest times, driving the line, or hitting the apex; instead, it focuses on safety and accident avoidance.

Students must be registered seperately on the TRSS National site here: https://msreg.com/TRSSPCAPotomacOct252026.

We need our PCA Potomac DE and AutoX instructors and member volunteers to make this event a success. Breakfast and Lunch will be provided. All coaches must complete the TRSS training to be eligible to participate. The training covers the drills that the coaches will guide the teen drivers through, as well as methods and approaches for working with young, inexperienced drivers who may be apprehensive about executing the drills.

The TRSS training certification for In-car Coaches is taken at: https://streetsurvival.org/schools/become-a-coach/. The training takes about an hour and successfully passing the certification exam will register you in the National TRSS Coach Training Registrar. Please note that this doesn’t have to be done every year. If you have taken the course within the last 5 years, you do not have to repeat the process. The PCA TRSS Program Coordinator will be sent a status report periodically and in enough time prior to the school to confirm eligibility and take appropriate action.

Thank you for helping to make this event a success and making the driving experience for our local teens safer!
