America’s only racetrack built & owned by amateur road racing clubs

Season 2025 Episode 94 | 2m 48s | CC

As racetracks across Colorado began closing in the 2000s due to urban development, amateur racing clubs found a new home in Deer Trail, Colorado. These clubs came together to form the Colorado Amateur Motorsports Associates (CAMA), which went on to build High Plains Raceway in 2009. Today, the track draws thousands of racing enthusiasts year-round.
