Ladies registration opens on July 6th for this event planned just for you! RMR-PCA and our sponsor Poudre Sports Car are pleased to announce our Ladies-Only High Performance Driver Education event at the Flatrock Regional Training Center in Commerce City, Colorado. This is the largest women-only track event in the nation.
All ladies welcome! “First-timers” are welcomed and encouraged! In fact, each year nearly half of our drivers have never been on a track. Additionally, whether this is your first time on the track or you have years of experience, we have a run group to match your skills.
The event is open to all women and all makes of cars. Convertibles must have roll-over protection (factory installed or added). SUVs must be built by German manufacturers. If you are unsure, contact our Chief Driving Instructors (CDIs) and they will make the final determination.
This event is an opportunity to support a very worthy charity: Adams County Sheriff's Employee Foundation. You will be able to contribute to the charity during registration and, as always, there will be lunchtime charity rides on the day of the event.
This event is limited to 65 drivers. This is a very popular event and we encourage you to register quickly before it sells out!
Important Notice: Preference will be given to Porsche Club of America (PCA) members. Interested non-PCA members should still sign up as soon as possible. Any remaining slots will be released to non-PCA members on July 15th in order of registration.
Cost is $115 per driver, which includes a fun-filled day of driving, instruction, box lunch, and a goodie bag. Additional lunches for your friends and family can be purchased when registering for an additional $12 per lunch. There are no concessions available at the track, so please plan accordingly with snacks and sports drinks. We will provide cold water. Bring your own chair for use under the tent.
Sunday RMR is also conducting another Drivers Education event, named Track 101 DE, for new and intermediate drivers, at the same location. RMR offers a $35.00 discount for those ladies who wish to also drive in Track 101 DE.

Event requirements
National PCA membership number and membership status will be verified as part of the registration process. If you do not include a valid PCA membership number (or forward a pending membership confirmation from PCA to the registrar), a $10 non-member fee will be assessed.
You must be 18 or older with a valid driver's license to participate in this event.
You are required to use a either a Snell (SA2020/M2020 or newer) or FIA (8859/8860 2024) certified helmet. You will need to wear clothing made of natural fibers such as 100% cotton. Short-sleeve shirts and shorts are allowed. Closed toe shoes are required while driving. Helmets will be checked at Pre-Tech, Tech at the Track, or the registration table upon check-in where you may obtain an RMR/PCA helmet sticker confirming the Snell/FIA rating. A limited number of loaner helmets are available.
- You will need to have your BRAKE FLUID CHANGED within one year of the August 15 event and ready for pre-tech inspection. Every year we have disappointed ladies because lack of brake fluid changes lead to pre-tech failures and cancellations.
- Tires may not be older than seven (7) years. Molded into the side of every tire is an oval with four numbers: the first two numbers are the week the tire was produced and the second two are the production year. Tires may not be older than 2019.
- Please DO NOT bring tent/canopy POP UPS! No matter how secure you think they will be, there are MANY cases where the wind kicks up gusts that send pop-ups flying and in past events have damaged vehicles (and can injure people).
- NO PETS are allowed at the Track.
- All cars must have a passenger seat with equivalent seatbelt restraints for instructors.
No convertibles or open cars without factory installed roll bars, trucks, or non-Porsche SUVs.
PCA RULE: If you have added a racing-type seat in order to use 5-point, 6-point or 7-point harnesses (which must be replaced every two years or every five years depending on whether they are SFI certified or FIA certified belts, respectively), you must also have and use an approved Head and Neck Restraint device. Further, if there is to be a passenger (e.g. instructor), same must be provided and used by the right-seater.
We cannot accommodate two (2) driver cars if both drivers are novice drivers and attending their first DE event. Also, three (3) driver cars are not allowed.
Attendance at this RMR DE will be limited to a total of 65 drivers. To implement this, everyone registering for the DE will be listed as ON HOLD, subject to CONFIRMATION BY THE CDIs.
Your priority in being confirmed for an event will depend on the date and time you register. Priority will be given to PCA members.
