April 2013 - Rocky Mountain Region Porsche Club - Porsche Club of ...

It’s been a while since we’ve been to Pueblo, and now we’re
going back. Always one of our favorites, but saddled in recent
years with management and maintenance issues, Pueblo
Motorsports Park is back and so are we!
The track is now in reliable and experienced hands after
several years of sitting idle. It’s conveniently located only
about 30 minutes from Colorado Springs and about
90 minutes from Denver. The track has been
resurfaced recently and is in great shape.
Concerned about weather? Well, mid-
May in Southern Colorado is about as good
a bet as you’ll find (probably won’t snow or
have temps in the 90’s either).
Too expensive? Let’s compare, shall we?
A typical Autocross is $40 for five runs and a
total seat time of 8 minutes, while a standard
DE costs $210 with TWO HOURS of seat time
over two days. Which is the better deal?
If you’re new to DE, this track is an outstanding
venue. We’ll have instructors on-hand to teach you the basics
and you’ll be placed in run groups with your peers, so don’t
worry about running with the big dogs.
Bottom line: PMP is a great track that you haven’t run
for a while (or ever) with reasonable cost, lots of seat time,
and convenient location; and the odds are with us for good
weather. We’ll even help offset your cost for lunch. In other
words, no excuses for not coming out and joining us for a great
weekend on May 18-19.
But wait, there’s more! The track’s new management,
FAAST Motorsports, is offering a “Test ‘n’ Tune” Day on Friday,
May 17, at a cost of $150 for a full day or $90 for a half day. Just
pay at the gate. Please note that “Test ‘n’ Tune” is NOT
affiliated with PCA or a part of the DE event. You’ll
also be able to do a trailer drop at the track on
Friday afternoon. Contact FAAST Motorsports
(Judy Faass at 719-761-1372) for additional
information on the “Test ‘n’ Tune” session
and the trailer drop.
