Anyone remember Rocky Mtn. Dragway at Commerce, CO?

My only trip there was just after I moved to Denver from Phoenix. There was a Divisional held where I met Zim and a few other people. The were no altitude adjustments, we ran off the sea level indexes (or records) and that was my 1st try at racing a mile in the air. That was a learning experience!
There was a string of redlights and missed gears (nobody could break out) against me all the way to the final, where Scott Main freight trained me by 5 cars. He went on to win the World Championship that year so that sets the time frame if you wanted to look it up.
I don't remember it being very nice but nothing in Commerce City ever was.
