Richmond International Raceway Autocross
August 21st
Saturday, August 21st the Shenandoah Region of the PCA along with Euroclassics Porsche will be able to once again stretch our cars’ legs at the Richmond International Raceway. We will be on the ¾ mile course, in the infield, and have full access to the facilities form a unique view. The sights and sounds of this event are like no other, with a ground level look out from the center of the track, and there is nothing like listening to a car running down the back straight at high RPM against 97,000 empty aluminum seats. This is truly a great event and one you will not want to miss if you are into autocrossing, interested in seeing what your car can do on a track in safe conditions, or just interested in what a 14 degree banked turn feels like. After a two year break from this venue, we are happy to once again bring this event to the area’s automotive enthusiasts. Although Porsches are the main car brand we run, all others are welcome to participate and enjoy the event with us.

- Our normal format of running, two heats, three runs each.
