I know us Southern racers are reportedly pretty backward according to some, but, at least we have figured out how to push water uphill! It's called a PUMP!

To be fair, I have heard, in the past, that Denver was a nice place given the geographical problems. Now, I have not attended a NHRA National Event in many years. I have my reasons. That said, I have read and spoken to many of you who have. It seems to me that for whatever reason, you guys are being pushed further and further into the back forty (that's Southern for boondocks). Charlotte? Maybe that could be one of the reasons the car counts are so bad? Jim

I always heard that the Bandimere's wanted the Town of Morrison to annex them then the city would bring in the water. That has never happened so you get port-a-potties.

Just wondering.... where do they get their electricity? They have NO running water there? Are there NO bathrooms at this track? I don't think I have EVER been to a National Event race track that didn't have at least ONE permanent bathroom facility with running water within a mile of the Sportsman pits! Just sayin'. Jim

The tower has facilities and running water, otherwise port-a-potties. They tried to move east and rebuild but voters stopped them. It is a nice facility in many ways, esp the proximity to Denver and Morrison, but north of the scales it seems like you are not even at the track, isolated in a twilight zone among the dirtiest rock pits imaginable. We've had moderate success there over the years, but not keen on going back. Been to worse places.

I just assumed they had bathroom facilities behind the grandstand. I guess not.

Where does the water come from in the cool down area?

The water in the cool down area is well water,with a fair amount of iron in it. Not for drinking!
