Denver??

Lets see, 1.5 miles from the starting from ground up asfalt pit area on a narrow 1.5 lane road past all the pros and spectators to get to staging, you can coast down the hill once you get there. Did someone say hot 10000 plus air. Plus a track that realy don,t want you there then won,t let you leave the track till they say you can. Not a fun race like it was years ago, even the locals won,t race there.The pros barly have a full field Tom

Too far & too much altitude

Long way to go slow. Lack of class money doesn't help the track...

I would bet we have more cars at our local S/SS combo this weekend.

Also the new altitude factors. A lower class car that`s .30 under at sea level won`t run the index this weekend. Forcast highs in the upper 90`s all three days and "breezy" on Saturday.

Hi Dave! I`m doing good. As far as racing,notthing at all right now. I`m done with the Skyhawk and am looking forward to a new start on a new project. How are you doing?

looks like the stock / superstock combo races are paying more.

With everything that has been mentioned, it begs the question has the AHFS and the other factors making the 2 denver races a none event?

I used to look forward to attend this race. We would race the week before at Douglas LODRS, then go to Denver. When they started to put us in the gravel past the end of the track, that was enough. I would not go if it was free! Dyno

Looks like even the Pro's don't like the place.... Pretty short fields...
