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, 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 the start of any driving. Most street cars easily pass the inspection. The owner/driver should do a pre-tech inspection (PCAAutocrossSafetyInspectionChecklistMay2020.pdf) no earlier than 4 weeks prior to the event. You do not have to drive a Porsche to participate.
Helmets: Snell-rated SA2010, SAH2010, or M2010 or newer helmets are required when driving. Equivalent helmets (not DOT) may be used. Loaner helmets are not currently available.
In-car instructors will not be available; therefore we are not accepting first-time autocrossers as drivers.
Only members of the same household may share driving a vehicle.
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.
