Rewind our Weekend at Pitt
The PCA Potomac Pitt Race, hosted on the iconic racing grounds of Pittsburgh International Race Complex, lit up the motorsports calendar this past weekend. As other participants and I lined up in a staggered grid, engines roared to life as we exited the pit lane, and for me, the air was thick with anticipation. Enthusiasts and participants alike were treated to a thrilling display of speed, skill, and strategic prowess on this amazing 19-turn, highly technical track.
Hot Laps and High-Performance Learning
This year's PCA High-Performance Driver Education (HPDE) event at Pitt Race was, as always, an exhilarating experience. Despite the sweltering heat, participants of all skill levels, from seasoned enthusiasts to eager novices, pushed their limits and refined their driving techniques.
I was recently promoted, joining the ranks of the Blue Run Group, and even tackled the challenging course solo. Under the watchful eyes of seasoned instructors, drivers honed their skills in a supportive environment dedicated to growth and safety. The educational aspect of the event truly shone, fostering a strong sense of community. It was incredible to see participants gain newfound confidence as they mastered complex techniques and improved their vehicle control. The spirit of mentorship and learning was palpable, with experienced drivers and newcomers collaborating throughout the event.
Blue Skies, Hot Track!

Among the excitement, the day was not without its share of challenges. A minor weather disruption led to an unplanned pit stop, testing drivers’ and instructors’ adaptability. Yet, it was in moments like these that strategic collaborations truly reflected the partnerships PCA has within the community.

Through shared knowledge and resources, teams are better equipped for success.
