About SouthWest MotorSport
Southwest Motorsport, Inc. is a non-profit organization formed in 1999 to provide vintage and sports car racing enthusiasts a venue to exercise their sport. Our home track is Sandia Motor Speedway just outside Albuquerque, New Mexico.
SWMS traditionally runs four events during the calendar year: two spring events, an August event, and a late fall event. Our vintage members also support other racing events around the Southwest such as the Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing events at High Plains and Pueblo Raceways in Colorado and the Corinthian Vintage Racing events in Texas and Oklahoma. Many of our contemporary racers participate in SCCA, PCA, and NASA races around the country as well. Our August event runs in association with Pro Auto Sports, Southwest Karters, the Albuquerque Karting Club making for a full weekend of diverse racing experiences.
Besides our regular vintage and contemporary racing groups, our weekend event include a High Performance Driving School and a lapping group for those enthusiasts who want to run their high-performance vehicles in a controlled environment but are not yet prepared to become full-fledged racers.
SouthWest Motosport's racing groups are run by "gentleman's" rule, meaning that we do not encourage or condone contact, blocking or other wise "offensive" driving tactics. We are people who enjoy good clean racing, but realize that many our vintage cars are valuable and that many of our member's budgets are finite. We are about good, clean racing, and comaraderie and friendship. Our events are as much social as they are competitive.
If you have an interest in recreational racing, running your car in a controlled environment, or tuning up your driving abilities and you want to share your experiences with a great group of like-minded people, come join us!
