About this event
High Plains Raceway, Colorado May 16-18, 2025
Given the good feedback from last year’s event, the Marvelous May Races will once again blend RMVR’s renowned Competition Drivers’ School into the weekend schedule. No need for concern folks, as there’ll be plenty of track time for all.
Please plan to join friends and fellow competitors on track and in the paddock for a weekend of fun and racing. This is also an opportunity to welcome our newest racers into the fold and demonstrate what the vintage spirit is all about.
The RMVR Comp Drivers’ School takes place Friday, May 16 through Sunday, May 18. Racing as usual happens on Saturday & Sunday May 17-18. Qualified students will join their respective race groups on Sunday. A Happy Hour plus a ticketed dinner are planned for Saturday after the track goes cold.

Bonus! HPR will host an RMVR-ONLY open lapping on Friday, May 16. It's a great opportunity to shakedown & debug both car and driver prior to a weekend of racing. This option is highly recommended & strongly encouraged for those of us who haven’t been on track since last Fall. Four of these sixteen 30-minute sessions will be for the Comp students, but there’ll still be plenty of track time for all.
