Track Events in the CO region?

[thegoat]

Anyone have any suggested upcoming track days in the CO region for a Lotus to participate in?

I am signing up for the Z club's Sept 6 day event, but looking for something sooner as well. Let's hear where you local drivers are going for upcoming track events.

There is a large Lotus owners club in Colorado. Look them up on the Yahoo groups site. They are a pretty active bunch and may have some events along the lines of what you are looking for. They organized and ran the Lotus Owners Gathering (LOG), last year in Aspen.
Good luck,

Al B.

Thanks. I am a part of LoCo, and they discussed a track event earlier in the year, but it seems to have died. Most of the track drivers go to SECA or NASA events. Just looking for some events in the near rather than later future.

Here's a bit of good news. Pikes Peak Int'l Raceway announced yesterday (7/24/08) that it's reopening!

Its website has few details-just a banner crawl announcing "the track is back" and phone numbers to call. They anticipate some event in time for Labor Day.

Running the 1.3 mile banking and infield configuration was fun.

And, of course, High Plains Raceway is close to its funding goal for the 2.7 mile track envisioned north of by Byers off I-70. I drove the staked-out course in a 4 wheel drive. It looks (potentially) fantastic, but that's still a ways off.

PPIR? Good news indeed.

I am a member of Peak to Peak Miata Club and we just had a track day at PMP on 26 July. Next one is 1 Nov. Cars other than Miatas are welcome.

Here's some info about a track event this weekend...I haven't driven this track, but am under the impression it's pretty small. Still, there aren't many track options in CO so that puts this towards the top of the list.

Mike Pettiford from GO4it Racing rented the track in Golden for both Saturday and Sunday this weekend August 2 and 3rd. He still has slots open for either day. He's offering private (one-on-one) instruction or practice only.

1 Day private instruction $700
1 Day practice only $150

Call Mike to register if interested.
