Organizers of Air Race X— the self‑described spiritual successor to the former Red Bull Air Races — are pitching Pueblo, Colorado, as a potential annual host city for their championship air racing finals.
Local news outlet KRDO said Ted Morris of Air Race X North America made the pitch during a Pueblo City Council work session this week. Morris said Pueblo Municipal Airport was a prime venue for the high‑speed event where aircraft reach speeds around 250 mph and pull as much as 12 g’s, demanding expansive airspace and ground facilities.
Morris told councilors they are hoping to host the event at Pueblo annually, highlighting the airport’s large footprint, convenient access to Interstate 25, and proximity to local aviation schools as key advantages.
