Saturday & Sunday, April 18-19, 2026
La Junta Raceway
La Junta, Colorado
Everyone deserves a break - Spring Brake that is, at semi-famous La Junta Raceway. Start your season off right at LJR. At 1.3-miles and seven turns, La Junta is the perfect track for novice and experienced drivers alike! As an added treat, its low 4,000-foot elevation will enhance the power of your sports car - hard to complain about! Enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow Porsche Club members and non-members, maybe even meet some new friends. You do not need to be a member of PCA to join us!
We welcome all cars that pass the tech inspection. No trucks or open-wheel cars. Only German SUV's please.
Thanks to Lowery Insurance - and Dave Lowery, we'll be having another giveaway for a Garmin Catalyst. One entry per day of driving in AMR HPDE's all season long.
Coming down Friday Night? We will have a Pizza (and Beer) Social at the Hampton Inn, along with Pre-Registration for the weekend.
