Re: Bandimere shut down
According to Comp Plus, Bandimere has been "allowed" to open under certain conditions.
"The restrictions Bandimere Speedway must adhere to are as follows: 1) Bandimere Speedway cannot host an event in excess of 175 attendees 2) Cannot host an activity that doesn’t allow 6 feet of social distancing among non-family members 3) Cannot hold an event that serves food under the state’s restaurant guidelines" I don't know if I should be grateful or continue to be disgusted. Maybe Speedy should have an ACAB* or BLM* protest for people who just happen to have race cars. He could have lots of people show up, the police would come, spectate and make sure no one was interfered with and the state and local officials would ignore the whole thing. *All Cars Are Beautiful and *Big Loud Motors, but don't tell them that's what it stands for. |

Re: Bandimere shut down
It is a well know fact for years the local governments and many of the politicians have wanted to end the race track there.
This is just the best chance for the politicians to to control and run it out of business using the agencies to do their dirty work and call it to protect the public. Not everyone understands how much the community benefits from the race track and how much revenue it brings into the area. Just ask someone in Douglas WY what happened to their economy when they lost their Division race some years back. The local leaders in a way ran the race out of town and once it was gone the business leaders and local leaders asked for it back with a meeting with NHRA. They were told it was gone and would not be coming back. I can see the same thing happening in Denver with the Bandimere track if it can not survive. The local leaders and developers want houses instead of a race track. They should be careful what they wish for as the race track generates much more dollars for the community than a housing development can ever do year after year. A housing development is a short term generator of revenue during sales and construction then that bump is over. After that it is only tax revenue which fall far short of the revenue generated for all the local businesses by the race track year after year. This is short term thinking which is the norm today with almost all politicians. They only look at election to election and keeping their position of power or upgrading it to the next level. Only the locals being vocal to those elected officials and providing the politicians with facts and figures can possibly turn this around to keep the track operating. Maybe elect some racers to some of those positions, like any of us racers want the hassles, maybe some do. It is all about politics and agenda in today's world. Just My Take Rick Cates Canyon, TX |

Re: Bandimere shut down
I've been saying for years that liberalism is the enemy of motorsports.
Do you need any more proof than what's happening this year?. Shame on those racers (and fans) that support liberal politicians. * edited a typo, and lost the "likes" Thanks anyway
