Bill,
Bandimere went NHRA in 1978. The Denver Div 5 race and the 1st Mile-high Sportsnanionals were held there after that. In 1979 the National event became the Mile-high Nationals, with the pros included. I can't tell you when Rocky mountain closed for good, as I only ran the Div, & and National races in Denver. maybe some locals could tell you the exact closing date.

I was just a kid but I remember the track well. We lived in Commerce City and went there often. My dad ran in stock and super stock in the sixties and did very well and helped a lot of people do well also. He had a number of drivers from the area drive his cars successfully. Thats pretty much where I fell in love with drag racing and still trying to do as well as he did, but enjoying it more than ever now. Some of you may have seen his blue 66 SS396 Chevelle or remember Dan Miller. At 72 he still goes with us some and still enjoys it all, but he just cant seem to get the index system figured out. What joyous memories those were back then.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads on here.
