2016 Spring Grand Prix

High Plains Raceway

About this event

  

It’s time to Spring forward into racing season again! RMVR is back at our home track for the annual Spring Grand Prix race at High Plains Raceway.

We’ve all said it: “I’ll work on my car…next weekend.” and then buried it under the car cover for six months. Well, that weekend has arrived. Time to throw off the cover and hit the track! Always a great opener for our series, it’s also a perfect chance to shake down and test your car to make sure it and you are ready to compete this season. Your fellow friends and racing family want you to join the in fun at High Plains Raceway.

Bonus:  Precision Grads Get Their Own Grid  

Sorry, canceled 5-9-2016 for lack of sufficient entries

At our opening event, all RMVR Precision School graduates are invited to have their own run group at this event. The rules for accepted street cars is the same as it was for the School weekend and track rules also the same (e.g. passing only in specified straights and required “wave byes.”).  There's a May 7th deadline for this decision, so register now to be sure there are enough cars to create this special run group.   A minimum number of Precision entrants will be required in order to have a dedicated run group so enter early. Online registration can be used.  Use the special "RMVR PrecisionGrad Registration" entry ($225).

 

Extra Bonus: Karaoke “Car Pool” Saturday Night!

We’re throwing in even more fun Saturday evening. As a special “Welcome Back To The Track” We’re doing some Car Pool Karaoke- James Corden style! You’ve all seen the CBS late night host sing-along with his favorite artist in a minivan. Now it’s RMVR’s turn. We’ll team up two singers in a car to do their favorite karaoke songs. Ok- the car won’t be driving but we better see it shake!
