So, how late can somebody else enter ? OR, are you guys saying that ONLY those currently on that list can enter ? Just curious as to how that works.

Here was last year's 17 car SS field.

32 Stockers.

Haven't been there in many years, is it really that bad racer facilities wise?
As to washrooms, couldn't they build a structure and service it just like a plastic temporary one?

Don't have a ladder chart here. With 17 in SS how does the bye run flop?

Thanks, that's what I thought. #1 could get the bye twice.

We have never been treated better at any other track then at Bandimere. Factored air over 8'000 is the big thing and another problem is traveling from the west. Interstate 70 is a terrible road when towing.

Many people only go once. The whole place is a pit.

After at least three years, maybe more, of listening to the gripes about this race, it's low car counts and more, I've concluded that it must really suck to race there!
But we all know why racers mostly from around Colorado compete there, it's their National event and their proud to be at Bandimere.

After racing at half of the national event tracks in the country I've come to the conclusion on Bandimere's pit status. For those that regularly race there the restroom status at the national is the same as a regular bracket race. For those that only come once a year for the national, you pit past the sand trap. Now this sounds far from the starting line and it is, but no where near as far away as topeka or gainesville. If you enjoy racing Sundays there aren't many places that equate to the feeling of Bandimere. Most spectators stick around for the sportsman rounds whether they plan to or Bandimere schedules it that way. You feel like you're racing in front of more people than you have ever have before. All in all it's a great experience.
