The Florida Crown Region Driver’s Education Series will open to PCA and non-PCA members at Roebling Road Raceway on May 27 & 28, 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.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 30 days 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.
(3) As of January 1st, 2022, SA2010 / SAH2010 are no longer accepted at PCA events. You must have an SA2020 / SAH2020 or SA2015 / SAH2015 helmet (no motorcycle helmets permitted).
(4) As of January 1st, 2019, it is mandatory for a Head and Neck Restraint (HANS) to be used in cars with harnesses.
(5) Cars can be shared but each driver must register individually and run in a different run group.
(6) If you have a mechanical issue on track (i.e., dropping of fluids such as oil, coolant, etc.) that requires oil dry absorbent to be used you are responsible for the cost.Our events are multi-purpose with a focus on teaching drivers with little to no track experience the fundamentals of high-performance driving. 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. If you desire these types of formats, do NOT register for this event.

REGISTRATION: You must perform two things to be confirmed.
1. ENABLE eSignatures and sign the PCA LIABILITY WAIVER.
2. Make payment.

Please note that If you have NOT signed the waiver or have NOT paid, your registration will be placed on a waiting list. First come – first served. These events are very well attended and routinely fill and close for registration 2 weeks before the date of the event.
Regarding payment and fees for this event: RRR advised Crown Region of a track rental fee increase, effective January 1st, 2023. Registration fees have been increased 16% to reflect the rental fee increase by RRR. The increase is not driven by PCA.

Your registration includes a Friday night pizza social at the track, an event T shirt or similar and tentatively, a BBQ dinner at the track Saturday evening (catered by Jim/Nick’s BBQ). A decision, regarding whether or not the BBQ dinner is offered, will be made closer to the event date and will be dependent upon the number of registrants.

Our HQ hotel for the event will be the Marriott Spring Hill Suites Savannah Airport, located at One Jay R. Turner Drive, Savannah, GA 31408 (exit 104 off I95). Hotel Code is SAVSA. The hotel’s phone number is 912 330 5555 or 888 287 9400. Please mention Porsche Florida Crown Group, Group Code is CRO, to receive the group rate. Because this is a holiday weekend, room rates are higher. A slightly discounted rate of $139.00 is offered to the first 20 registrants who call the hotel for reservations. Once those 20 rooms are sold, the rate will be $149.00 for all other reservations.

Apex Performance will be supporting this PCA Florida Crown DE event at Roebling Road. They will have communicators, head & neck restraints, helmets, and gloves. If you need something in particular (brakes, fluids, harnesses, any apparel-suits-shoes, etc.) Please let Linda know by May 17th so they have time to get items either packed or shipped directly to the track. Clark & Linda, www.apexperformance.net or 843-299-0997.

Please note that the event Registrar will assign the run group. Each selected car number is assigned to a single car per event (not per run group). The driver is responsible for their numbers (the event does not provide them).

CAMPING: Camping for the weekend is permitted at the track. All campsites are first-come, first-served, so please do not contact the track for a spot. Not all campsites have water. Also, there is no Dump Station at RRR. Please select the appropriate option and make payment on club registration. The fee is $50 for RVs and $20 for tents for the weekend and covers the cost of nighttime security at the track.
NOTE that upon entrance to the track, RRR will ALSO charge you an additional fee for electric use of $25 for RVs (30 /50 Amp) and a $10 fee for tents (110). This is payable at the gate. When you pay for electricity at the gate, you will be given a sticker to be placed on your power cord, indicating that you have paid. RRR staff will be checking for these stickers and collecting them from anyone without one.

MEDICAL: HPDE events will expose participants to mental stress, high acceleration, turning, and braking. You will also encounter high temperatures, loud noises, and vibrations.
For your safety and the safety of others, you should be in good health and free from untreated high blood pressure, heart, back, or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by participation in this type of event. Contact your physician if you have questions about your participation.

TECH INSPECTIONS: ALL vehicles must pass a tech inspection at an ASE-certified technician/shop within a 30 day period prior to the event. The technical inspection is required of all registrants, including Instructors. Any reputable ASE-certified technician, auto shop, or dealership – preferably one who is familiar with your make or model – should be able to perform a tech inspection on your vehicle.

GARAGES: there are 12 garages at the track, with rates of $60 for one day and $80 for two days. RRR does take names for these, and has a “list”, but does not collect money until the driver arrives at the track. Please contact RRR at 912-748-4205.

TRACK-DAY INSURANCE: Your auto insurance usually does not cover driving your car on a racetrack. Crown does not endorse one provider versus another. Here are links to several track day insurance writers: www.locktonmotorsports.com, www.opentrack.com, www.hagerty.com.
