RMR Event Calendar

We are heading down to one of our favorite restaurants in Colorado Springs, The Edelweiss German Restaurant.  Participants must pre-register for this drive. 

Everyone will need to sign the PCA liability waiver form(s) during check-in; for members with children under the age of 18, a minor liability waiver form will need to be signed by one parent(s) or legal guardian(s).

All drivers must attend a drivers’ safety briefing that will be held after check-in and prior to departure.  We will have multiple “run groups”.  You will be given a colored dot when you check in that needs to be placed on the upper driver’s side of your windshield.  The colored dot will designate which “run group” you will be driving in during the tour.

Meet at The Perfect Landing Restaurant at 9:45 AM.  Departure will be 10:15 AM to 10:30 AM.  The route is I-25 South to Castle Pines Pkwy. and N. Daniels Park Rd., US 85 and CO 105 (S. Perry Park Rd.) through Sedalia, Palmer Lake and Monument and then I-25 to Colorado Springs to The Edelweiss German Restaurant.

Lunch is at 12:00 PM in the Biergarten (weather permitting).  Otherwise downstairs in the Ratskellar.

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN WEDNESDAY, MAY 11th at 9:11 AM for RMR’s second HPDE event of the year!  

The Smooth is Fast will be a great way to refine (we might even say “smooth”) the skills you learned at the May DE or even to jump into the fast lane for the first time! An excellent team of instructors and volunteers will help you enjoy your Porsche on the best track Colorado has to offer, High Plains Raceway. Register early to avoid missing out on all the fun.

• 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, Bienvenidos Food Bank 

• The CDI team will lead a “Walk the Track” session on Saturday evening after the course goes cold, this is a great way to learn some nuanced tricks for navigating your least favorite corner! Beer:30 rules of course apply! 

• There will be a Mexican themed dinner on Saturday night, you can reserve your spot when you register, cost is $20/person

As of this time there are no COVID-19 related restrictions in place that will impact this event. That may change, we will update you if it does.

Peak to Peak tour will occur on Saturday, 18 June. 

It will start at: The Man Cave, 7535 W. 92nd Ave. Westminster, CO at 9:00 AM and end at The Crossing at Clover Basin shopping center, 2331 Clover Basin Dr, Longmont, CO.

Are you the quickest air 911, Boxster, Turbo, Macan?  This event is a great chance to try out your new found skills and to compete against the clock.

We are excited to offer an expanded Autocross schedule in 2022 with six events (five autocrosses).  We encourage you to register if you are new to the club, new to your Porsche or other favorite four wheel means of transport, want to improve your driving technique or simply want to enjoy your Porsche in a safe environment.  The weekend event will be held at the Colorado Air and Space Port, formerly known as Front Range Airport. 

Are you familiar with Autocross?  Autocross is a performance driving experience conducted in a safe environment at relatively low speeds (2nd gear).  You will not hurt your car and more importantly you will not hurt yourself.  Autocross is a lot fun and provides small doses of adrenaline rush that will keep you smiling for days. You will gain additional confidence in your driving ability, learn the limits of your car’s braking capabilities, practice correct seating, hand, feet and vision positions, as well as push and perhaps exceed the limits of your tire’s adhesion capabilities. 

By the way, autocross is a huge social event and a great time to meet new club members and visit with friends.

If you can volunteer to assist the chair in setting up the course and other activities to make this a successful event please contact us!
