The Rocky Mountain Region’s Club Race and HPDE / Time Trials will be held September 19 – 20, 2026
The September HPDE is run in coordination with Porsche Club Racing. Solo-approved drivers can participate. We invite anyone with HPDE experience to volunteer for corners or grid. Volunteers can sign up at https://msreg.com/RockyMtnThunderVols.
Our Rocky Mountain Region hosted the very first PCA Club Race in 1992 at Second Creek racetrack. Members of the Rocky Mountain Region take pride in this historic event. The Region has run the race at Second Creek, at Pueblo Motorsports Park and now at High Plains Raceway.
This HPDE is an Advanced Solo DE held in conjunction with the PCA National Club Race on the same weekend. Only advanced solo drivers are allowed to participate. Driver participation is subject to approval by the HPDE Chief Driving Instructor.
To qualify, the driver must meet the following criteria:
If local to RMR,
You MUST be signed off as a Solo driver by a member of the RMR CDI team
If an out-of-town HPDE participant
You MUST be an HPDE instructor, or an intermediate or advanced driver, having driven Solo for at least 4 days on at least 2 different tracks
You MUST provide a track driving history documenting you meet the criteria above and/or contact information for your local Region’s Chief Driving Instructor.
Shared-driver cars will be allowed provided that one driver has previously run in the Expanded Passing run groups (and is approved by the RMR Chief Driving Instructor) and the co-driver qualifies for Solo HPDE participation.
We will have two Solo HPDE run groups. There will be one Solo run group with designated passing zones. There will be one Solo run group with PCA Expanded Passing rules (further defined by RMR passing zone rules). For passing, a point-by is mandatory in both run groups, and only one car per point-by!
Time Trial – Sunday afternoon sessions will be devoted to the time trial event. The format will place 4 cars on track separated to minimize passing. Drivers will have hot lap conditions upon entering track and complete two full laps plus a cool-down. Prizes or awards in 3 competitions, including fastest lap, most consistent of two laps, and predict-your-time.
Registration will open on August 3 at 9:11am via https://msreg.com/RockyMtnThunderDE
