Mopar Mile High Nationals.... The last one ever.

I wish I could post video here without adding a link from youtube, but I was there on Saturday for qualifications. Brittany Force set a new track record of 337 mph of which I DIDN'T get a video of. I was there, but this track holds such a special place in my heart. I've raced my drag bike there more times than I can count and to think it's going to gone forever sucks. However, my wife was kind enough to get pictures of Kelly Clotz, Pro Stock Motorcycle racer and Gaige Herra, Pro Stock motorcycle racer and I. Gaige signed a cool poster and Kelly signed my hat. She's a trip! And I'm fat...

That’s awesome, man. Looks like you had a great time!

 

[Doom!]

@Rottster Glad you got to go, sad that so many things we love are just becoming memories..

Yeah, shed a tear here too. Feels like part of my legacy fades with its closing. Reading there is another track in the works that will carry the Bandimere banner. Out vicinity the International Airport. Multi-use motorsports facility. Hope so. Time will tell.

Bandimere's was a speed shop we'd hang out back in the '60s when I was in the Air Force [at then] Lowry AFB, Aurora, CO. They were racing out of Castle Rock, halfway between Denver and Colorado Springs.

It was such a blast but bittersweet knowing the track is going away. 65 years is a good run though...

It seems everything fun is being banned or over regulated. In the interviews with the Bandimere family, they state it's not due to encroaching development, pressure from the County and complaining Karen's, but those of us who live here know the real deal.

Yep, we can only hope! They say if it get approved and goes through it'll be 10 times the size and have plumbing/real restrooms, lol. Great to hear about your experiences out here! First time I raced there was in 94, 29 years ago... You certainly have me beat!

Back when I was about 20 lbs lighter, I used to race there in the Pro E.T. and Street Bike divisions. Not that long ago, I was still grey
