PART 4.3 - THE PCA JUNIOR PARTICIPATION PROGRAM

The Junior Participation Program (JPP) is intended to encourage families to become and stay more involved with PCA, as well as strengthening a long-term connection between 16/17-year old sons, daughters and other specified relations of PCA members and to encourage their future participation in the Club. Once these sons, daughters or other relatives become 18, they will be able to join PCA as a full member.

The JPP allows the fully licensed sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, step-children or grandchildren of PCA members to participate in driving events, such as autocross, autocross schools, rally and gymkhanas. The parent or legal guardian of the JPP entrant does not have to be a Club member, if the uncle, aunt, grandparent or step-parent is a Club member. This relative, who is a Club member, as well as a parent or legal guardian, must also be in attendance at the event, along with the JPP entrant. Participation in rally events shall be limited to the role of navigator, and not as a driver.

NOTE: The JPP program is for 16 & 17 year olds only, and as such, NO minors under 16 years of age are allowed in Navigational Rally event cars, even as a Navigator. For Gimmick Rallies, minors under 16 years of age are allowed as "back seat" passengers only; they may not be the Navigator.

JUNIOR PARTICIPATION PROGRAM FORMS

Two forms must be completed prior to participating in JPP activities. The specific forms are:
