The Florida Crown Region Driver’s Education Series will open to PCA and non-PCA members at Roebling Road Raceway on January 21 and 22, 2023; we welcome all makes and models, including convertibles with the proper roll over protection. Please note: RRR DOES NOT permit EVs (electric vehicles) on-track. There is potential for RRR to amend their current position. Please check back for any updates.***Special note about convertibles: Any convertible or Cabrio delivered with factory-installed roll-over protection meets the minimum standards for PCA DE events. In these cars we recommend the soft-top be in the up position or the hardtop installed. If the top is in the down position, an arm restraint system (SFI and/or FIA approved) must be used. If a convertible or Cabrio does not have factory-installed roll-over protection, a roll bar or roll cage must be installed, which satisfies the “broomstick” test (the driver’s helmeted head is below a bar placed on top of the roll bar and windshield). All Targa tops must be installed unless there is additional roll-over protection. All sunroofs must be in the closed position.The windshield alone is not considered to be factory roll-over protection.All cars entered in the event must have fenders attached to the vehicle body at all four wheels.Also, Recaro has a recall campaign in effect for their Profi SPG XL racing seat. Recaro mailed a recall notice to all purchasers of record, therefore, you should be aware of this if it affects you. Please contact PCA National for further information.The event requirements are: (1) Drivers must be 18 or older with a valid driver’s license to enter(2) Your vehicle has to be safety-checked by an ASE mechanic within three weeks of the event and this requirement includes Instructors. Additionally, a separate final tech will be completed by our tech team at the track (a confirmation email with a link to the approved tech-form will be emailed to you once you complete and pay for your registration) – the tech form is always available in the event files section of this event and named: FCR PCA Tech Inspection Form.pdf.

We also accommodate those that have advanced skills and want additional track time. Note that this is NOT A TEST & TUNE NOR RACING event, but drivers’ education.
