About this event
Alpine Mountain Region’s “No Excuses II” DE
Presented by Porsche of Colorado Springs
Pueblo Motorsports Park, Pueblo, CO
We’re going back to Pueblo for our second annual “No Excuses” Drivers Education weekend on May 31 - June 1. If you passed on our inaugural event last year (you know who you are), you already know you missed a great weekend. Just ask anyone who was there. Always one of our favorite tracks, Pueblo Motorsports Park (PMP) was closed for a while but last year was reopened under new professional management. The track was also resurfaced not that long ago and is in great shape. PMP is conveniently located about 40 minutes from Colorado Springs and an hour and a half or so from Denver. If you’re new to DE, then this is a great course for you. We’ll have instructors on hand to teach you the basics and plenty of seat time to practice what you’ve learned. You’ll be assigned to a run group with your peers, so you won’t be running in the same group as the track junkies.
Bottom line: Great track, reasonable cost, lots of seat time, convenient location, and the odds are with us for good weather. We’ll even help with your lunch cost. In other words, no excuses for not coming out and joining us for a great weekend on May 31 to June 1st.
But that’s not all. The track’s management company, FAASST Motorsports, is offering an open lapping day on Friday, May 30, at a cost of $150 for a full day or $100 for a half-day. Pay at the gate. Please note that the open lapping on Friday is NOT affiliated with PCA or part of the DE event. You’ll also be able to do a trailer drop at the track on Friday afternoon.
HUGE Shout Out to Porsche of Colorado Springs for helping put on this event again this year– THANK YOU!
