Sounds like you guys need a sponsorship from a paving company.

I was just thinking a couple days ago how I need to come down to P town and watch you race the camaro.
That sucks
Kearney...
Grand junction
209 miles, uphill both ways
Currently a closed highway detour on the most direct
1/8 mile….
Julesburg
230 miles
New track surface
Sleep under a goat, there’s 1 motel I think
5 hour pull one way
Kearney
435 miles
6.75 hours
It is a good track
We now have 4 tracks within an hour. You need to move.
There is also Albuquerque Dragway in Los Lunas, about 370 miles south...
That effing sucks. I wanted to bring the SS down and hit PMI this summer too since Bandimere pulled the plug up here.
Call me a pessimist if you want but knowing how that city is run the likelihood of them coughing up any money is going to be a long shot. If money is to be spent I find it a convenient excuse to justify not doing anything. Despite the very fact they would have the only 1/4 mile track on the east side of the Rockies to service Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver. I figured that track would be hopping this summer taking up the slack from Bandimere.
The only way I see it happening is private funds coming in to help.
That totally sucks regardless.

A guy I know by me just sold his car since he didn't want to haul it that far.
I can tell you that my limited experience with the strip here in Grand Junction, that there are often poor conditions, whether it be wind blowing dust onto the track, (on top of a hill) or the perfectly timed thunderstorms, or both of these in the same day, or the heat is bad enough to have the density altitude up close to 9000'. It has gone above that occasionally.
It would be very frustrating to drive over here, then miss out because of unpredictable weather conditions.

Congratulations! Good on you! Bring home the gold!
Grand junction! I haven't been there since 1970, lived with my grandfather who worked as a coal mine engineer for Morrison knutson.
