About this event
Women in Motorsports North America is proud to sponsor Porsche Club of America, Potomac Region, for the 4th Women's High Performance Driving Clinic at Summit Point Motorsports Park!
HPDC can be the single best day you'll have in your car, with emphasis on awareness and car control in a safely controlled environment and with an instructor in the car.
This is for students who have zero or little performance driving experience (DE, HPDC, PDX, autocross, competition drag racing, etc.). Sign up early, please. Our HPDCs usually sell out more than a month in advance and have long wait lists.
Two students sharing one vehicle is not allowed. Each vehicle must have a pre-event safety inspection completed using the PCA Potomac Technical Inspection Form, and pass a brief inspection (brake pad wear, brake lights, and several other items) at the event in order to be allowed on track. Porsche Macan SUV is the only permitted SUV for this experience. Electric Vehicles and Hybrids are not permitted per Summit Point Motorsports Park rules.
All drivers must be at least 18 yrs old and have a valid drivers license to participate.
All registered drivers are invited to attend a WIMNA dinner on Saturday, September 27th in Winchester, VA, featuring professional Porsche racers and other influential Porsche females in the motorsports community. Event ticket required.
Reminders: PCA Potomac is also a social club, and new participants are welcomed and appreciated by the entire DE community. Although we love our Porsches, we encourage other passenger car marques to participate. SUVs, trucks and EVs are not permitted by track rules. Firearms are not allowed during track events. No alcohol or recreational drugs while cars are on track.
As always, it’s not just the cars, it’s the people! PCA POTOMAC Drivers Education is 100% fueled by volunteers! Every event of our season is organized, managed, scheduled and instructed by volunteers who are passionate about this sport. Our goal is to exceed expectations and make sure everyone has a safe and fun weekend. We encourage you not only to participate, but also to volunteer/donate to help continue fueling the passion.
Registration Fee: $449

- Our events are open to all marques.
- You do not need to be a PCA member to participate.
- Registration closes a week prior to the event (late registrations are risky due to capacity).
- You may notice your event status is yellow / "New" - until it becomes green / "Confirmed", you only have a place in line not an actual slot in the event. (Or if you see "Waitlist"...keep your fingers crossed for an opening!) We will contact you again via email prior to the event to confirm acceptance at which time you will also receive instructions about billing and the date your credit card will be billed.
- IF YOU CAN'T PARTICIPATE, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CANCEL ACCORDING TO OUR CANCELLATION POLICY.

- We bill your credit card on the Sunday eight weeks prior to the event. An email will be sent a week before billing to notify you of the anticipated charge date and the cancellation policy. We only bill Confirmed drivers, not waitlisted drivers.
- Billing problems result in notification by email with 48 hours to resolve the issue. If you do not correct the issue within 48 hours, your registration will be canceled. Reinstatement of a registration canceled for this reason will incur a $50 admin fee and require immediate payment with a valid credit card.
