About this event
PorscheFest is back! And this time it's being joined by the "PCA Experience". So not just one circuit but all three Summit Point circuits will have food, entertainment, and Porsche stuff for everyone to enjoy! The Drive and Dine gang will meet north of Manassas and head out to Summit Point through the outback of Northern Virginia and West Virginia. No helmet or racing tires required but keep your car in top shape for the drive! Plus new this year, all drivers registering for and completing the drive from Manassas to Summit Point will receive a T-shirt (additional T-shirts can be purchased for each of your navigators for $13 each).
Our activities at the track will include the following:
- A Charity Parade Laps event starting around 11:30 am where you'll have the chance to take parade laps around the track for about 15 minutes! (Remember we said keep the car in top shape!) Number of vehicles that can do it will be limited to 30 Drive and Dine vehicles, A donation of $20 is required for each vehicle participating in the Charity Parade Laps. The donation benefits Stafford Junction, a faith-based nonprofit organization tasked with improving the lives of children and their families in low-income neighborhoods in Stafford County through programs focusing on education, nutrition, and healthy living.(http://staffordjunction.org/)
- This year, the national PCA is introducing the "PCA Experience" at Summit Point in conjunction with Potomac's PorscheFest! This event is designed to introduce the larger Porsche community to the PCA lifestyle. The Washington Circuit will be home to a massive festival - with food, music, activities for the spouses and kids, a Concours, rare cars, dealer displays, demonstrations, and much more. As we'll have access to the "Experience" event, we will not have any box lunches as in past years, nor "dead time" after the lunch and other activities we've had in the past. You will be able to access the different activities by taking a shuttle bus from the main circuit parking lot.
At 5:30 pm or when the track officially goes cold for the day, happy hour will take place behind the paddock back at the main circuit, followed by a BBQ dinner catered by Railside. Enjoy food and drink with the DE folks and other members!
