About this event
COOKIN’ ON THE PLAINS - DE
We all want to make the most of our fast and capable machines, don’t we? Maybe you’ve never tried a Driver’s Education event?
Well, now’s the time for you and your car to get out to High Plains Raceway! Winter excuses will be long gone… The weather is good, your car trailer is no longer buried in the snow, the garage floor is nice and warm, and the kids don’t have homework… This DE marks the middle of SUMMER!!! NOW is the time to get off the recliner and into your track ride. You can test those cool new parts and horsepower improvements, take advantage of great driving instruction, and get the seat time we all need to go faster.
Please join us for our July 21 & 22 RMR DE,– whether first timer or veteran. This year’s chairs Jim Thorburn and Scott Farrell, promise plenty of excellent seat time, improved driving skills, great food and drink, camaraderie with our gear head friends, and most of all – FUN! FUN! FUN!
This event is an opportunity to support a very worthy charity: The David Bucknam Scholarship fund, http://bucknam.org/about-the-scholarship-fund/.
Mo is promising a great bar-be-que dinner for the evening too.
