PCA Potomac Autocross #4

Bowie Baysox Stadium

About this event

    PCA - Potomac's Autocross Event #4    

 

This event is a low-to-medium speed auto driving event run within the parking lots of the Bowie Baysox Stadium (map).

At an autocross event, drivers navigate a course, delineated by soft traffic cones, in a parking lot. Drivers are given about six attempts to drive the course as fast as possible without going off course (DNF or did not finish) or knocking over a cone (a two second penalty). Autocross is not head-to-head racing; rather, cars proceed one at a time and race the clock. As each autocross course is different, drivers walk the course together before the driving starts to learn the course. The driver who navigates the course the fastest is heralded as having the fastest time of the day or FTD.

For more information check out our Autocross FAQ or email autocross@pcapotomac.org

Registration fee includes breakfast and lunch, as well as a single entry into the event raffle pool. Each event will have several raffle items awarded by random drawing at the end of the day. You must be present at the drawing to win.

Cost is $50 for PCA members and $60 for non-PCA participants ($60 cash for onsite walk-up registration – please go to the policy page of our website for more information on the day-of-the-event walk-up policy).

All fees are paid in advance and are non-refundable.

Registration for PCA drivers will open on 3/1 at 12pm.
Registration for non-PCA drivers will open on 7/21 at 12am.
Registration closes on 8/17 at 12am.

MSR Registration is capped at 60 drivers, after which new registrations will be placed on the MSR Waitlist. Cancelations will be filled from the MSR Waitlist. An additional 6 onsite walk-up spots are available on a first-come basis. The MSR Waitlist does not apply to the onsite walk-up spots.

Event requirements

     

Waiver:  You will be required to sign a waiver at the event site.

Helmets: You must use a helmet with a Snell 2010 or 2015 SA (Special Applications) or M (Motorcycle) sticker.  The helmet can be full face, open face, or open with a chin guard.  The helmet should be rated for multiple impacts and have a fireproof liner.

Pay special attention to fit. The helmet should not be so tight that it brings on a headache, but your head should not rattle within it either. The goal is to have a helmet that is snug enough to prevent your head from having a distance to travel before hitting the padding.

We do provide a limited number of FREE LOANER HELMETS supplied by OG Racing for those who haven't committed to purchasing a helmet. OG Racing also has a helmet rental program where the rental cost can later be applied towards the purchase of a helmet.

Tech Inspection: Tech inspections at autocross events will be conducted onsite at each event. We will be checking the basic safety condition of your car (e.g., tires are not excessively worn, no evidence of leaking fluids, brakes are operating properly, etc.).

Payments:  If you are accepted as a pre-registrant for a PCA Potomac Autocross event, payment is made in full at the time of registration on Motorsportreg.com via credit card. If the event is already full, you will be added to the MSR waitlist and payment will not be processed at this time. If you are on the MSR waitlist, payment will be due only if you are notified via email that you have received a confirmed spot. At that time, payment must be made as directed (often within 24 hours or less) to confirm your spot or you will forfeit the spot.
