PCA - Potomac's Autocross Event #3
This event is a low-to-medium speed auto driving event at the Potomac Circuit of Summit Point Raceway (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.

Registration for PCA drivers will open on 2/13 at noon.
Registration for non-PCA drivers will open on 4/25 at midnight.
