Helmets off to Heroes (HOTH) 2019

November 10, 2019

A time honored DMV tradition started by Miriam Schottland called “Helmets Off To Heroes” is a High Performance Driving Clinic (HPDC) and Track Experience held on/around Veterans Day benefiting our troops. This event has been going on for over 10 years and is ready to gear up once again!

Last year SCCA graciously took over the event from Miriam and continues the legacy of her work. HOTH’19 will be held at Summit Point’s Jefferson Circuit. Registrations will be capped at 30 (first time) students and limited to enlisted and/or veteran members of the armed forces. Additionally SCCA will need help enlisting coaches for this event.

GTM has been involved with HOTH for many years and we are proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with SCCA and PCA in honoring our soldiers and putting on a stellar experience for them. Registration will open 10/20/2019 via www.motorsportsreg.com – Be sure to sign up early as this event fills up quickly.
