Description (from track web site)
Pueblo Motorsports Inc. was formed in 1973 to work
towards developing a motorsports facility in southern Colorado. In 1974,
PMI was able to lease property from the state in Pueblo with the help of
several city and state leaders. PMI operated a dragstrip at the
Greenhorn Airstrip in Colorado City in 1974 to gain the experience of
operating a dragstrip. In the spring of 1975, PMI broke ground for the
drag strip. The city granted $125,000 in revenue sharing money, the
county gave $75,000 for construction of Pueblo Motorsports Park. PMI
constructed the dragstrip and a short road course at that time. The
majority of construction of PMP was done with volunteer work. In
September 1975, PMP hosted it's first drag race event which was a
Winston Drag Series which is equal to the Lucas Oil Drag Race Series of today. The
dragstrip has been host to legendary racers such as Don
Pruhomme, Reher Morrison, Warren Johnson, and Tommy Johnson Jr. Matt and
Andrew Hines of Screaming Eagle prostock bike has come and played at the
track as well. The motocross track was added in the late 70's which
still holds several major events each season. The dirt oval track was
built in the late 80's but is no longer operational. The road course was
expanded to 2.2 miles in the late 80's and host numerous events each
season today. The road course has hosted the One Lap of America with
Brock Yates, other famous road racers have come to practice for the
Denver Grand Prix and the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. The facility is being continuously
updated and is still under the direction of the early
leadership. Some of the board members are still the original members. Please
come and enjoy the facility with us as it was intended
over 30 years ago.
