About this event
Cone In 60 Seconds Autocross
Location: Colorado Air and Space Port formerly known as Front Range Airport
DATE July 18, 2026
Half way through the RMR-PCA autocross season. In order to save July, we will now attempt to dodge a Cone in 60 seconds (or thereabouts anyway). Do you think you can conquer your Eleanor? Find out at the Cone in 60 Seconds Autocross! Every event this year and last year sold out, and we expect the trend to continue. Be sure to sign up early!
No prior experience is required. We will have instructors onsite to help you improve your driving skills and loaner helmets will be available if you don’t have your own. Our goal is to HAVE FUN and be safe.
There will be plenty of ice-cold water available during the event. Snacks/soda/adult beverages will be available for you to enjoy after the event (aka "BEER :30").
The charity for this event is Big City Mountaineers. Big City Mountaineers provides transformative experiences through connections to nature that strengthen life skills and build community for youth from disinvested communities. BCM uses the power of the outdoors to reveal the strength, the adaptability, and the resilience that students already possess, and encourage them to use these discoveries in their daily lives. Big City Mountaineers provides free, fully outfitted, and professionally led backpacking trips and overnight camps for under-resourced youth in Colorado. Over the last 30 years, BCM has served 10,000+ students, conducted 800+ expeditions, organized 5,000+ volunteers, led 100+ overnight camps, and provided 45,000+ nights under the stars.
