Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing

What Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing does

Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing (RMVR) is a Colorado-based non-profit vintage motorsports club, founded in 1983 and headquartered in Sedalia, that organizes competitive racing events for vintage race cars — eligible vehicles from 1994 models and older. The club operates a recurring calendar of events at three Colorado race tracks: High Plains Raceway near Byers (its 'home' track), Pueblo Motorsports Park, and La Junta Raceway. Signature events include the annual Race Against Kids Cancer fundraiser (16th annual in 2026), the Spring Thaw Grand Prix, the High Plains May Classic with Driver School, Steel City Thunder, and the Colorado Grand Prix. RMVR serves vintage car racing enthusiasts in Colorado and is supported by a wider network of motorsport volunteers who fill corner marshaling, timing & scoring, race control, pit & grid, and communications roles.

RMVR's core product set consists of organized racing competitions, a Driver's School and competition licensing program led by Chief Driving Instructor Nathan Down, vehicle eligibility review, year-round safety tech inspection with Hot Pit monitoring during races, and volunteer-based flagging and communications operations. Membership engagement is supported by a monthly Vintage Messenger email newsletter, an official member forum at forum.rmvr.com, and RMVR-managed social channels on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The club is governed by an elected Board of Directors (President, President-Elect, Past-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and seven Directors-At-Large); the RMVR Administrator is the only paid position, with all other functions performed by volunteers. RMVR maintains adjacent partnerships with regional vintage racing organizations (CVAR, VARA, CSRG, VMC), photography vendors, and parts/restoration shops (Downforce Racing, Mid-Century Motors, 3R Performance Racing, Total Precision Engines).

RMVR's revenue model combines recurring annual membership dues with one-time event registration fees charged to drivers, driver-school students, and volunteers; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed on the website. The organization is privately funded by member fees and event income with no external investors, parent company, or funding rounds indicated. RMVR has no proprietary technology and is regional in scope, serving the Colorado market with no global footprint claim.
