Join us for the first PCA RMR HPDE event of the year! An excellent team of instructors & volunteers will help you awaken your Porsche around the best track Colorado has to offer. Our events are popular, so register early to avoid disappointment.
Chris Macarak - AKA: The Tire Guy, owner of On-Site Tires will provide his incredible Saturday night unique Brats ‘n’ Beer dinner with a variety of wonderful brats (in the past, it’s been rattlesnake, deer, elk antelope as well as traditional brats – who knows what Chris will cook up this year? You will, if you attend!). Support On-Site Tires with your business. You’ll love On-Site’s personal and professional services at the track, business or home!
There will be beer-30 on both Saturday and Sunday. Concessions at the track will be open for breakfast and lunch, but will not provide dinner service so if you are staying at the track make sure to pack food for evening meals.
We are excited to support our charity for this event: The Lung Fund Colorado (CU Anchutz) which is targeting genetic pill therapies for loved ones! You can donate as much as you would like during registration.
Lunchtime charity rides will be held for $20 per vehicle - Any roadworthy vehicle can drive the track at touring/highway speeds. All proceeds benefit our charity for the event.
