First Settlers Region of the Porsche Club of America is hosting our first Tire Rack Street Survival (TRSS) Teen Driving School on SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2026, at the municipal airport in Franklin, VA. The TRSS is a safe teen driving program, designed to go beyond today’s required driver education and give teens across the U.S. the driving tools and hands-on experience they need to become safer, smarter drivers. The school provides trained and qualified in-car driving instructors as well as valuable classroom experience for each student.

Note: Any teen driver can attend as long as they have a valid Learner’s Permit or Driver’s License. They do not need to be affiliated with First Settlers Region or Porsche Club of America.

“20% of deaths among vehicle passengers of all ages occur while a teenager is driving.”

But FSR needs help from the Porsche Community to make this happen… WE NEED VOLUNTEERS! Our objective for our first class is to train 20 students, so we need a minimum of 10 in-car coaches (more is better) and an estimated 20 other volunteers for registration and course workers.

No previous experience is necessary for volunteers. While track instructor experience is a plus, so is experience as a parent teaching a teen how to survive on the road. Coaches do need to complete on on-line training session.

We also need help spreading the word and recruiting students. More specifically, our target audience are the parents of teens between 15 and 21 years old. Please let us know if you have connections to our local schools, sports teams, your teens or your neighbors’ teens. Our school is open to the community.

Information about TRSS is available at: https://streetsurvival.org/schools/students/

This year's run includes new route additions passing many ponds, photo locations, and wildlife, returning to one of America's oldest taverns serving since 1733.

We'll join up at the parking lot next to Samson Motors, 268 N Main St, Bowling Green, VA 22427 on Sunday afternoon at 2:30pm.

Departing by 3:30pm, we'll enjoy a two-hour tour of updated route additions, stopping to dine at the historic Hanover Tavern.

We've reserved the large Coach House at Hanover Tavern. This area can accommodate up to 150 of our Porsche family friends, so spread the word to other Porsche owners. There will be a slideshow of past Perimeter Runs shown on their projector while we dine.

Dinner will be from the menu and paid by each guest. Reserve your spot now and join us for the tour or join us just for dinner.

There is a nominal $13 fee per car for the Fun Run.

Event t-shirts are available for purchase on the registration page. Contact the organizer with any questions.

Note: This event is open to all PCA members driving their Porsches.
