POC @ Streets of Willow TT and PDS

The Porsche Owners Club presents our 2024 Performance Driving Series (PDS) and Time Trial series at the Streets Of Willow Road Course in Rosamond, California, along with Motorsports Safety Foundation Level 2 Training

Counterclockwise Direction

Join us for the Porsche Owners Club’s June event at The Streets of Willow. The weekend will feature our Performance Driving Series and Time Trial classes.  We plan to have one PDS and three Time Trial run groups (subject to change depending on the registrations). Each run group is scheduled for five lapping sessions. Run groups and final schedule will be based on the number and classes of registrants. Please note that the EARLY BIRD PRICING OFFER ends two weeks prior to the event. Lunch is provided.

Schedule to be provided

In addition to our usual track sessions, we are also offering Motorsports Safety Foundation Level 2 Training. Note that the Level 2 training combines classroom and track exercises and uses the full day (other than lunch). You will not have time for lapping sessions.

The Motorsports Safety Foundation has created a standardized program for training high performance driving instructors.  This course has been adopted by many driving clubs and track day organizations throughout the country.  POC has decided to offer this program to its members in order to continue improving student training.

POC in partnership with the SoCal Audi Club is offering Level 2 of the Motorsports Safety Foundation Instructor Training at the Streets event.  To register, participants must have completed the Motorsports Safety Foundation Level 1 self-paced course and received a certificate for passing the written test.

The Level 2 course is a combination of classroom and on track coaching exercises.  Each instructor candidate will participate in four on track sessions working with a mentor that will be roll playing as an inexperienced student who exhibit certain traits (e.g. aggressive, passive, know it all, etc.) while driving that requires the instructor to utilize proper coaching skills to correct.

This will be an all-day course that when successfully completed will result in receiving Level 2 certification and graduation for completing the course requirements to be certified and receive your credentials as a Motorsports Safety Foundation Instructor.

If you have any questions or get more information about the Motorsports Safety Foundation training please contact Jim Salzer at pds@porscheclub.com or call (949) 300-1731.
