2018 Race Against Kids' Cancer

High Plains Raceway

About this event


We are once again excited about the prospect of making a significant impact on the Morgan Adams Foundation (MAF), a great organization dedicated to pediatric cancer research. Over the past seven years we’ve raised almost $850,000 for MAF.  With everyone's help, we can dramatically add to this total to continue supporting pediatric cancer research studies.  This will help doctors better understand, diagnose, and treat tumors. By participating in the Race Against Kids’ Cancer race weekend, you are directly impacting and improving the lives of children with cancer.  And, if you wish to create your very own personal donation page to solicit donations from Friends & Family. CLICK HERE to set up up your personal donation page. Your donors will appreciate the CONVENIENCE of making online donations on your behalf!

Kirk Peterson is the Event Chair.  Feel free to contact him with questions:  kirk@petersonfs.com

The weekend promises once again to be a premier RMVR event. You won’t want to miss it either as a racer or as a spectator. Main features of the weekend include:

  • Our Eighth Annual Race Against Kids’ Cancer to benefit the Morgan Adams Foundation.
  • Once again, Formula Ford will be a featured grid. We will be inviting all Formula Fords, both vintage and contemporary, representing almost five decades of this series.  We are hoping to top last year's grid of about 40 FFs.  It should be a huge grid, representing the evolution of this ever-popular series.
  • Another great Poster and T-shirts will be available. 
  • Prizes will be given to those raising the most money.
  • A neat event program.  Remember that if you want to have your car's picture in the weekend Race Program, you must email William Taylor a .jpg file and include a note describing the make/model/year of your car.  William needs it no later than July 15th.  His email is coterieltd@aol.com.
  • Especially for our spectators:  Paid rides in race cars always deserve special mention. On Saturday and Sunday, during the lunch hours, we’ll have rides in some very special race cars with passenger seats which donors may purchase in order to have the ride of a lifetime. These will sell out early since the number of cars available and time on track is limited to the lunch hour. Buy your Ticket to Ride at the track.
  • The Morgan Adams Grid Girls+Guys will be back again this year!  Sign up and make a donation at the races to have a gorgeous grid girl (or guy!) keep you cool under an umbrella while you’re waiting for your start on the grid. With your donation, you will receive a keepsake photograph to share with your family and friends.
  • Saturday and Sunday lunch - Lunches for drivers, workers, spouses, guests, and spectators on both Saturday and Sunday are available for purchase from the wonderful new HPR Food Facility next to the Pavilion. 
  • Saturday Night Dinner/Concert –  All the food for the Saturday evening dinner is donated!  So ALL your dinner ticket proceeds will benefit MAF.  Dinner tickets can be purchased by racers when registering.  If you are attending as a spectator and wish to enjoy the Saturday evening dinner and bluegrass/country music concert, please purchase tickets on Saturday in the Paddock at the MAF desk.

This is our premier event for the year. There will not just be incredible racing, the entire weekend's events will help support a worthy cause: funding research on cancer in children!  Entrants are encouraged to make a donation when they enter.

Event requirements

Entering Cars WITHOUT an RMVR or VMC Club Log Book:   If the car you are registering does not have a Log Book from RMVR or another VMC organization, or has not been invited by the Event Chair to participate in this event, your entry will be automatically reviewed to ascertain if the car meets RMVR's criteria to run as an "Exhibition" car for this one event.  We require it be of special interest to vintage racing, conform to RMVR years of eligibility, and, of course, have proper safety preparations.  If it does not meet the criteria, the entry can be denied.  If so, you will be promptly contacted and the entry fee charged upon registration will be fully refunded.

For Double-Driven cars:  If you are sharing a car with another driver for the weekend, just have the one person enter.  Only that one entry fee will apply.  To avoid another entry fee, simply CALL THE CLUB ADMINISTRATOR, 303-319-3062, to advise who the second driver is.  Don't try to enter that second driver online.  The second driver MUST also go thru registration Saturday morning. Thanks. 

RMVR requires fuel cells for all Production and Formula race cars racing wheel-to-wheel in our regular run groups.

Cancellation Policy:  Call 303-319-3062 for all cancellations.  No charge for cancellations 10 days before the event (i.e. there will be a full refund of your entry fees).  For cancellations after that, a $50 cancellation fee will be charged, refunding the rest of entry fees collected.   No refund for "No shows"(and we thank you for your donation!)
