2026 Autocross Season Update

Unfortunately, we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the 2026 Autocross season. This decision stems from a shortage of volunteer personnel required to manage site procurement, event logistics, and technical operations. RMC BMW CCA is a member-run organization, and we cannot safely or effectively deliver the experience our members expect without a dedicated team. If you want to see the cones return to the pavement, we need members to step into leadership roles and join the committee to lead the charge for 2027.

We Need Your Help for 2027

To rebuild the program, we are looking for members to step into leadership roles now. If you have experience in project management, site relations, event operations, or if you simply want to ensure RMC Autocross has a future in Colorado, we need you to join the committee.
