Metropolitan Community College
Blue River Precision Driving Center
Our primary venue is the Metropolitan Community College Blue River Precision Driving Center. This is a multi-purpose venue used by the Metropolitan Community College to train law enforcement officers and students the vehicular control skills they will need out in the field. The portion of the site used by us for Autocross racing includes a 400′ by 400′ concrete pad for paddock and grid, and a highly configurable urban track offering a mix of concrete and asphalt surfaces. There are no curbs anywhere on site, and there is ample run-off room in case a competitor experiences an off-course excursion.
