About this event
OktoberFAST DE
October 7th & 8th 2017
Fall is coming FAST and so is the OktoberFAST DE. The cooler weather will be the perfect time to exercise your Porsche at High Plains Raceway. This will be the last instructed RMR driving event of the year! So register early. This one gets sold out!
The weather should be great and there will be timed runs on Sunday. This will be the only event of the season with timed runs.
Mo, at HPR, will be providing a German themed Octoberfest meal on Saturday in the pavilion at the track for an additional cost of $10.
The charity for this event is the David L. Bucknam Memorial Scholarship Fund, www.bucknam.org. Dave Bucknam was a long time active member of RMR who was taken away from us way to early. Dave was the Director of the Colorado Office of Active and Inactive Mines and had keen insight of the back country of Colorado. Dave and his wife Susan used to put on amazing RMR tours where we would visit spectacular, but little known places in Colorado. Of course, part of the tour would include a visit to mines in Colorado. The Fund provides scholarships for college students with science majors who are interested in pursuing a career in mine reclamation/restoration. Many scholarships have been awarded. RMR has been a proud sponsor of the Fund over the years and this event will continue to share Dave's legacy to RMR and Colorado. Donations may be given at the time of registration and/or Parade Laps will be available both days during the lunch break for a donation of $20 (or more!). Please give generously! Dave and Susan gave a lot to RMR and this is our way of thanking them for their long time service.
Pre-Techs will be held on September 27th, so be sure to put that date on your calendars.
