About this event
OCTOBERFAST DE
October 19 & 20, 2019
It is never too early to plan. So mark your calendar and don't miss your last chance of the year for two days of High-Performance Driver Education with RMR/PCA at High Plains Raceway! The cool October weather is fantastic for testing the limits of your car, and we will have plenty of slots for beginning drivers. A Saturday night dinner will be available and we will have a fun Halloween Costume contest on Saturday during "Beer Thirty"!
We need volunteers to help us run the event-please help! Even if you are not driving, volunteering is a great way to learn more and help the club.
We are extremely excited to support our charity for this event, Learning Ally, which is the world's largest supplier of human read audio textbooks for struggling student readers with learning differences, including dyslexia. Learning Ally uses a nationwide network of subject matter experts and skilled voice actors to prepare and distribute audio textbooks in subjects such as English, Science, Math, Social Studies, History and Art. Learning Ally is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
