From the Bandimere web site:
There will be NO Early stacking for the Mopar Mile High NHRA Nationals. Stacking begins at 7:00am on Tuesday, July 16th in the Island Lot. Anyone arriving before this time will be turned around. There shall be NO Racer/Trailer parking ANYWHERE on Colorado 8 or ANYWHERE on Rooney Road prior to 7:00am on July 16th. This will be enforced by Morrison Police, the Colorado State Patrol and violators will be subject to further disciplinarian action by NHRA.

This is actually an improvement from the past when they used to let rigs in to stack on Sunday.

For some reason the Drag Strip owners don't like their customers to show up early most likely for a bunch of reason which we all know but I wonder if the Track knows why we show up early ? cause there is a few good pit spots and we want to pit there and the rest are bad >fix the pit spaces and the racers will show up to race fyi The racetrack spends hundreds and thousands of advertising dollars to get us to come to their track to race then when we get there they make us wait to get in ???Now I do know John Bandiemer has sportsman's concerns at heart but he just maybe restricted on what he can do with the pits because of some dumb rule from the Gov Regulators I think who have to justify their job by regulating the same business who pay their salary lol

While I do understand the challenge of racing there, the Denver track is the best I have ever been to as far as watching a race. I like to sit on the top rows and that is just a few steps down from the pits.

Cafe Prague in Morrison is our favorite restaurant anywhere.

I have only been to Denver Nats twice but both times it was over 105 degrees and that's just to frickin hot to enjoy yourself!!!

I know it`s still a week out but the forecast is low 80`s and a slight chance of showers. Should be pretty decent!

myself, i prefer the east side but it's a hellofa walk to the pits...

Its a good idea to be sure your pit bike is running good before you go up there! Some of them just won't run up there.

On our way. The weather looks great. We are staying in Hays, Ks tonite. Come see us, when we get there.

We went to race the mile high one year and I'll never go back. It wasn"t the heat or lack of performance that was rough, it was getting to the staging lanes from a mile away. Yes it's a slight downhill grade from the boondocks where we were pitted, but I never made it one time to the staging lanes that I didn't have to stop at least 3 or 4 times down that narrow road to get there.There was no way to keep your engine reasonably cool to get to the lanes.But the worst thing was when we went to leave out they wouldn't let us turn right on exit from track and go right up on the Interstate, we had to go left which I couldn't get on the Interstate and we got totally lost and ended up in some neighborhood and then on the other side of the mountain. It took two hours to finally get headed in the right direction. I swore then I'd never be back. On the plus side the scenery was beautiful, and I would go back to Colorado so sightsee , just not with a motorhome and racecartrailer.
