About this event
Drivers Ed Event: "Return to PPIR"
Sponsored by Elite Deck & Fence
What a way to start the 2012 driving season! AMR is thrilled to announce that we are returning to the track at Pikes Peak International Raceway for a Drivers Education event for the first time in eleven years! PPIR is a great track for the beginner and experienced driver alike. We will be running on the oval, then down onto the infield road course, before re-emerging onto the oval on the other side, so you get the best of both worlds. If you haven't felt the thrill of going flat out around a banked oval, it's something you need to experience.
This is a track which has hosted ten Indycar races, with winners such as Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti, and Dan Wheldon. The facilities here are the best in the State, with a fully paved paddock, spotless garages, a large indoor viewing area, and a view of the entire circuit from atop the scoring tower. Plus, it's only an hour south of the Denver Tech Center, just south of Colorado Springs, right on I-25.
As part of this event, we'll also be hosting a party on Saturday night at the track's beautiful banquet room for legendary PCA Club Racer, Hank Godfredson, who's celebrating his 50th Anniversary with PCA.
As with all Driver's Education events, you'll have the opportunity to learn from our dedicated corps of high performance driving instructors, who will give you one-on-one instruction on how to drive your car in a safe, fun, and fast manner around this fun 1.3 mile track.
So, sign up now, as after such a long absence, we expect demand to be high!
