[[Image:Mapquest-map.gif‎]] HPR first opened for the 2009 season. The track has been a great success. It is home for all the Front Range amateur racing organizations. Uniquely it was built and owned by those same clubs, namely SCCA, Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing (RMVR), Porsche Club of America (PCA), Motorcycle Racing Association (MRA) and a fifth entity which covers a number of other racing clubs. While most weekends are booked by the various various clubs who built and own the track (spectators welcome), HPR is also available to anyone for '''Lapping Days'''. Also, during the week the track can be rented exclusively for private use. See the [http://www.highplainsraceway.com/events.html Events Page] for available dates. Lapping Days can be reserved and paid for [http://www.highplainsraceway.com/lapping-days.html online].
