2019 RMR GLENWOOD SPRINGS TOUR, AUGUST 2-4 2019

This 3-day RMR-PCA scenic driving tour will follow US 285 to Buena Vista, then across Cottonwood Pass (newly-paved west side) and along the Taylor River Road. The main run group will lunch in Gunnison, then proceed on US 50 and Hwy 92 to Crawford, Hotchkiss, and Hwy 133 over McClure Pass to Redstone. A special run group for the Cayennes and Macans will lunch in Crested Butte, then traverse the unpaved Kebler Pass Road, rejoining the main run group along Hwy 133 at Paonia Reservoir. A group tour of the historic Redstone Castle is planned Friday afternoon, then to Glenwood Springs for a welcome Reception upon our arrival at the host hotel for a two-night stay.

Saturday will be a relaxing driver’s day day off, on-your-own to bask in the Glenwood Hot Springs pools and/or the Iron Mountain Hot Springs pools, as well as take in the many other local attractions, finally capped off with our special group Banquet Dinner!

The scenic driving tour resumes on Sunday, traversing Gore Pass to US 40 and along the Colorado River to US 34 with a group Luncheon in Grand Lake. After lunch we will proceed through Rocky Mountain National Park over Trail Ridge Road to the official end of the tour in downtown Estes Park on Sunday afternoon.

Registration on MotorsportReg.com opens in April and will include Friday’s guided tour of the Redstone Castle and the welcome Reception, the group Banquet Dinner on Saturday evening, and the group Luncheon on Sunday. Greatly discounted rates for the reserved room block at the host hotel will be provided upon registration, which includes a daily buffet breakfast, discounted tickets to the hot springs pools and other amenities.

This is the largest women-only track event in the nation!

New this year: Panorama, the national PCA magazine, will be sending a reporter and photographer to cover our Ladies’ Day event!

All ladies welcome! “First timers” are welcomed and encouraged! In fact, each year nearly half of our drivers have never been on a track before.

This is not a car-club specific event. The event is open to all women and all makes of cars. (Convertibles must have roll-over protection. SUVs must be German manufactured. If you are unsure, contact our CDIs and they will make the final determination.) Whether this is your first time on the track or you have many years of experience, we have a run group to match your skills.

Registration opens on Monday, June 10th and closes on Monday, August 5th, 2019. You must be registered by August 5th in order to participate.

This event is limited to 70 drivers. This is a very popular event and we encourage you to register quickly before it sells out!

Cost is $105 per driver, which includes a fun-filled day of driving, instruction, catered lunch and a goodie bag. Additional lunches for your friends and family can be purchased when registering for an additional $10 per lunch. There are no concessions available at the track, so please plan accordingly with snacks and sports drinks, etc. We will provide a tent, tables and chairs, and lots of cold water.

Please be aware that due to the layout of this track, you will not be able to enter or leave while the track is in use. Coming and going will only be available at the start of the day, during lunch and after the event. A schedule will be provided closer to the event.

You must wear cotton shirts, long cotton pants and closed-toe shoes when driving. Bring or borrow a helmet (Snell Rated 2010 or newer). There will be a few loaner helmets available. Also, cars must pass a technical inspection. We highly recommend you have your car pre-teched during the arranged tech inspection sessions. This free inspection helps catch potential problems in plenty of time for them to be corrected before your track day.

This Event will be using Deferred Billing. If you are paying with a credit card, it will not be charged until Wednesday, August 7, 2019.

You must be 18 or older with a valid driver’s license to participate in this event. Your driver’s license will be checked at event check in.

Two (2) driver shared cars will be placed in run groups appropriate for the event.

The charity for Ladies’ Day is the Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation. The foundation supports the families of State Troopers killed in the line of duty.
