In all things PCA does, first and foremost is the health and safety of our members, sponsor and communities.
Federal, State and local guidelines supersede these guidelines where there is conflict or ambiguity.
Take steps to protect yourself and others:

- Stay home if you have tested positive or know you have been in contact with someone who has been sick in the last two weeks
- Bring your own personal protective equiipment (PPE), including masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and disinfectant. Also bring your own pen to sign waivers
- Practice social distancing of at least 6 feet between non-cohabititating attendees
- Wear your face mask when in the presence of others.
- Physical contact is discouraged. Refrain from shaking hands, fist-bumps and hugs.
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Refrain from touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue into the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
- Use best judgement and common sense regarding your fellow members' good health.

Event requirements
You must have a valid drivers license to attend our driving events and be 18 years of age or older unless you are eligible for the Porsche Junior Participation Program. You also must sign our PCA insurance waiver and COVID-19 liability waivers and wear a wristband.
Before you can participate in our autocross, your car will need to pass a basic tech inspection. Tech inspection will take place each day before start of any driving. Most street cars easily pass the inspection. The owner/driver should do a pre-tech inspection (PCAAutocrossSafetyInspectionChecklistMay20201.pdf) no earlier than 4 weeks prior to the event.
Helmets: Snell-rated SA2005, SAH2005, or M2005 or newer helmets are required when driving. Loaner helmets are not currently available.
This is a "Run/Work" event. That means you are required to work a position when you are not driving during the autocross. We are always short-handed. So, please, don't be the person who makes it that much more difficult for the rest of us. We also appreciate any help you can give us before the course walk and during tear-down.
