The worst sportsman facilities, bar none. My wife refuses to go back until they improve. And if momma do go, daddy don't go.

Last time I was there I said I would never go back. You park way past the end of the track in loose dirty dirt.

Yep. The "North 40" is about a mile and a quarter from the staging lanes. The surface is ground up ashphalt that stains everything dark brown,including pets.

The last time I was there - we slowed down one second - 9500 ft DA

After the first run I was walking back to the pits and Bob Lambeck came by an said "what happened?"

I told him "I broke it - it felt like I was pulling a building and ran over a second off"

He said "get back in your car it's Denver"

I spent two days changing everything to make it faster - but you can not make up for no air - well unless you have a blower

Wonder why the Fords don't go there?

I said I will never be back

Ron

:-) peace

Maybe they will have buy backs after first round of Stock and Super Stock.

After going there last year on our last stop on the Western Swing, we said we wouldn't go back again (and we had a good parking spot on the pavement). The only other time we had been to Denver was in 1992 and if you ran a Mopar you were treated like a King. Not so now! Back then we had a banquet one night and they fixed lunch for you every day. I still have a nice beer mug that had the date and Mopar Nationals on it, plus caps and other freebies. Last year--nothing at all.

Also it was so slow that you thought something was wrong with the car every pass.

Good luck to all that decide to go. There is one good thing about being there. They let you trade in your ticket for a reserved seat each day. I don't like the bleachers there because you start at the top and go down to sit with no hand rails. So I would get a seat every day close to the top!

Ya'll go get 'em!

At least three "local" racers (SS) who complained were told to "go somewhere else if they don't like it"......plus it don't hook

Randall & Larry,

I think the Denver track has been heading in this direction for the last 8-10 years , will be a pro only event in the future if anything ... I also heard the same think from some stocker races about the track !
