Hard to believe he's competing against his home Division's National event

Re: NHRA Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Wow !!!!! One day race ......Hmmmmm

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

It`s either been opposite a Nat`l Event or a LODRS race for the past 5 years or so. With the weather up here, there`s a small window of opportunity before you get into Memorial Day. At least it`s a Nat`l Open again this year. If someone needs a grade point and wants to run the Skyhawk in the Combo, let me know.

Yes Jack believe it or not they pull this thrill packed event
off in one day. It is the NHRA/ NAPA "night of fire and thunder"
and promises to be loaded with thrills and more than likely
some spills. Gates open at 8:00 a.m. with 2 qualifying
attempts in the morning. preliminary eliminations at 2:00 p.m.
with the "big show at 7:00 p.m.
weather forecast looks great.!!

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Doing my best to be there.

Looking forward to running this. Last three years I have been in Great Bend.

Are you running Randy?

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Yes.

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

THANK YOU STOCK AND SUPERSTOCK RACERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


My son and I normally cannot make Fire and Thunder as we are usually racing our small bore car with Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing (Road Racing). This year we can make Bandimere. Have asked Bandimere and Pueblo to put on a nostalgia show for years with no real move in the right direction. Seeing you all along with the Nostalgia SS and AFX cars, Fastlane Stick guys etc is going to be great, so glad to make it, hope you have a strong turnout.
My son (age 21) is really a road racing guy but appreciates the S and SS cars, I always tell him he unfortunately missed the sport when it was really great and that the old Modified eliminator was almost better than sex.
We are only lowly spectators but love cars, we don't bother with the mile high nationals traveling circus, much rather make the div 5 points meet every fathers day weekend. Sportsman racing is by far the best, I just want to thank you guys for being there this weekend, can't thank you enough, we are telling all our friends to come out and support you.


I see only a couple Colorado racers entered in Stock and Super Stock at Topeka so hopefully you all get a good turnout at Bandimere.

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

First off welcome to the forum Gary .I see this is your first post. Thanks for your paticipation and
support. . Thank God for you "lowly Specators"
which you definately are not. No participants / no spectators
no sport......... No business. As far as the better than sex comment
well......Maybe a good debate... Every year the points race falls
on fathers day and I always miss fathers day with my dad which
I am still blessed to have. I Always think of him and try to make it
up another day.
In regards to 2 of our racers from Denver Scott Burton
and Dic Geary They will be in Topeka they will be missed. Both are great racers ,
and great sportsman as are most stock/ superstock racers. Best of
luck to both.

Stop and say hello to me if you get a chance.
I am very grateful for this great sport where everyone
does not get a trophy. If you get a trophy in drag racing
most times it was a combo of skill and luck and you damn
well earned it..... More often than not you lose. One of the most
humbling things I have ever done.

Thanks again. Randy.

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Unfortunately I won't be there either. Major updates on the car which were 20 years overdo put me behind schedule. Hope to make the points race. I see Robert Baldwin is entered for Topeka also.

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Sorry to hear that Jim.You are one of the real good guys
out there. You will be missed. I rememberyou way back from your SS/CS days. Hope you
get the car updated soon . you are nery savy stick racer. Good luck Bob Baldwin and
the Baldwin family. Super racers and supporters of bandimere
speedway and NHRA drag racing.

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Unforeseen issues put me on the sideline once again! :(

I wish the best of luck to all the racers and hope to be back out soon.

I do think we might see Mr Hyman in the "D.O.T. Monster" at the top of the sheet again. :D

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Sorry to hear Ross. Was looking forward to seeing you again.

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Congrats to Bob Johnson for the Stock/Super Stock Combo Win and Randy Hyman on your Runner Up!

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Way to go Randy.

Was hoping to see you take the win. Congrats to Bob!

Thanks Lane! I will be out as soon as the race gods give me their blessings...

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Just wanted to say thanks again, we enjoyed the show, with the S/SS combo, the stick shifters and the nostalgia SS/AFX cars we enjoyed it a bunch.
My son got to talk a bit with JC Beutel (SSGT/BA olds) whom he went to classes with at Pueblo a couple years ago.


The mint pristine, razor clean L/SA Catalina 389 tripower was a real treat to see !
See you all at the Div 5 race Fathers day weekend.


Thanks for the show.

Re: Denver National open sat. may 21st.......
 

Great to see the Warling bortohers with a "way cool"
new stocker out there. We need all the stock/ superstockers
in Denver we can get. The car looked super!
