You won’t find a better climate for motorsports than in Southern Colorado.

Spring, summer and fall are all ideal seasons to hit the track.  Even in the midst of summer, July’s average highs are just 85 degrees. In spring and fall daytime temperatures generally are in the lower 60s and upper 50s – ideal temperatures for high performance engines. Sure, we have snow in the winter, but with an average of just 37 inches a year, the track is likely to be clear even when the temperatures are crisp or even downright cold.
