You will test and improve your driving skills while experiencing the impressive handling performance of your car.

Everyone is encouraged to attend, particularly if you plan to participate in any other driving events throughout the year. Join us for some fun while becoming a better driver!

Registration opens: 8:30 am EDT
Course Open to Walk 9:00 am EDT
Registration closes: 9:40 am EDT
Drivers meeting: 9:50 am EDT
First group starts: 10:20 am EDT

To improve our events, we have made the following changes:

All participants must create a ClubRegistration.Net account, register and pay online. This includes onsite/day of, and registration the day before.
Registration will promptly close at 9:00 am on the day of the event
Events will be limited to 60 participants
The success of our events is completely dependent on volunteers. Therefore, this year we are asking for participants to pre-register for several key volunteer positions.
Please select one item from the “Event Options” section; see descriptions for details.

Please help us run a successful event by:

Pay prior to the event to avoid an additional $15 day of registration fee
Review the Tech Sheet and double check the “Registration Details” for accuracy. This form will be attached to your confirmation and is available at the PCA Chicago Region website
Bring your completed Tech Inspection Form with you to the event. UTQG: This is the wear rating for your tires. This can be found on the sidewall of your tires. If you are new to autocross, the Tech Inspector can help you find where this is located.
Make sure the positive battery terminal is completely covered with tape. This ensures that nothing can come in contact with the terminal. The PCA Chicago Autocross program reserves the right to deny participation to vehicles with excessive exhaust noise (95 db).
Park your vehicle next to the vehicle that arrived just before you (e.g.. not in the middle of the parking lot). We would like to have all cars parked in the order of arrival. This significantly improves the flow of our Tech Inspection process and helps us start our event on time. If you want to park next to someone, please coordinate your arrival before entering the venue.
Empty everything out of your car immediately after parking so that it can be Tech inspected. Anything that is loose must be removed from your car, including floor mats.
Complete and place the Tech Inspection Form under your windshield wiper. This indicates that you are ready to have your car inspected.
Wait for your car to be inspected. After obtaining the event sticker and signed Tech Inspection Form from the Tech Inspector. Apply sticker to the front top section of your windshield on the driver’s side.
Proceed to the registration table with your signed Tech Inspection Form.
Check in and look for your pre-printed name on the PCA Waiver, sign it.
Apply your assigned car number to both sides of your vehicle. Numbers should be 8” or larger (if you do not have pre-printed numbers use blue painters tape)
Relax, mix and mingle, walk the course or help setup the course until the drivers meeting at 9:20 am.
And most importantly….Have Fun!

Participants are broken out into three groups: Drive, Rest, Work

Drive

This group will start driving.
After your driving session is over, you will rest.

Rest

This group will start the day resting while the first group (Drive) runs the course.
Use this time to eat lunch, but please be ready to work.
As the Drive group is finishing please keep an eye on the staging line for the last car to complete the course.
After the last car has run and the course is “cold” promptly replace the workers on the course. This enables us to quickly get the next driving group on the course.

Work

This group will work the course when we start
Please grab a safety vest before heading out to a workstation
Aside from the Starter there are no pre-assigned work stations. Fill in any work station with less than two workers.
After the session is over and you are done working it is your turn to drive.

We will cycle through the process of again in the afternoon. Drive, Rest, Work. We will cover this again in the drivers meeting and address any questions that you may have.

Thanks, in advance for your cooperation.

The Allegheny Region PCA (ARPCA) runs a great event in Schenley Park (where the race course is….). Attendee’s park their Porsche’s together on a fairway, on the golf course. The parking location is a 2 minute walk to the race course. The ARPCA provides a wonderful catered lunch on Saturday and Sunday right on the golf course. Did I mention that every single fairway will be covered with cars from every imaginable marque? It’s an honest to goodness cargasm! Attendees are welcome to tour the paddock area which is just full of amazing and historical race cars. Free shuttle buses run to the paddock all day. You can walk right up and touch the race cars and talk to the owners/drivers.

We will caravan to the event from the hotel on Saturday and Sunday morning. The qualifications/racing is through by 5 or 6 pm each day. The hotel will provide a segregated parking area for our Porsche’s. A washing area is also available for the “Concours” diehards! (Did you read that Jeff?)

We will make sure that you have time to explore Pittsburgh which is a great town that has lost its rust-belt reputation! Great shopping, dining and sightseeing are available.

The hotel has approved a PCA CHICAGO cocktail party in the hotel lobby on Saturday evening/night. So we can take over the lobby and party like it’s 1999! (Unfortunately without Prince.)

On Sunday evening, we will dine as a group at the Monterey Bay Fish Grotto restaurant high atop Mt. Washington. We will travel by motor coach to and from the restaurant. No parking and no DWI opportunities. The food is great and so is the view of the city. You will see why they call it Three Rivers Stadium! (Ask anyone who has been..)

You are free to drive home at your leisure on Monday 07/25/22. Another PCA-Chicago 4 day driving extravaganza!

Once you make a room reservation, please send me an e-mail to let me know you plan to attend and provide the requested information. I will need the names and e-mails of all of the attendees.

13augAll Day14GingerMan DE(All Day) GingerMan RacewayNotes:Registration is open

Event Details

The Chicago Region invites you to join us for our 27th annual Drivers Education weekend at GingerMan Raceway, which is located just outside the scenic Lake Michigan resort community of South Haven, Michigan.

This year’s event will be held on Saturday, August 13th and Sunday, August 14th.

We hope you can join us for one of the season’s premier DE events.

GingerMan Raceway is a challenging 2.21 mile road course with 11 turns, a number of elevation changes, and plenty of runoff areas. Not only is it fun to drive, but it was built with optimal driver safety in mind, which makes it a great choice for less experienced drivers. Expanded Passing Rules for Advanced Drivers!

This is an event to enjoy with your family and friends as the South Haven and nearby Saugatuck resort communities are filled with shopping, restaurants, beaches, family entertainment, and night life.

SUV Drivers! We are planning our Macan/Cayenne Lead/follow session that was so popular last year!
Sunday August 14^th at 11AM sharp! $50! Cheap!

If you are planning to join us, we encourage you to make your lodging reservations as early as possible since many area hotels and resorts sell out months in advance!

Event registration is open to all PCA members, as well as non-members with track driving experience and an appropriate sports or performance car that meets the Chicago Region’s 2022 DE safety requirements.

Novice drivers are welcome to attend and will be assigned to work with an experienced PCA instructor for the weekend. It is important to note that instructor availability for this event is always very limited, therefore novices will be accepted on a first come – first served basis with PCA members given priority over non-PCA members.

We will once again be holding a non-mandatory orientation session on Friday evening in the track’s pavilion. Although this one hour session is designed for novice and first-time GingerMan drivers, anyone is welcome to attend. It will be hosted by PCA Chicago Region instructors who will review the track layout in detail and present a chalk talk to address the proper driving line, braking points, and other important information related to the weekend’s event. If you are planning to drive GingerMan for the first time, or if you are an intermediate driver looking to increase your knowledge of this challenging track, we encourage you to attend.

If you would like additional information, feel free to contact GingerMan Co-Chairmen:

Glenn DeWeirdt at pca.chicago.gman@gmail.com or 630.862.4355 before 9:00p.m.
Neil French at pca.chicago.gman@gmail.com or 630.461.0089 before 9:00p.m.
