Circle Drags at Colorado National Speedway

[Rox Crusher]

Took the family to Colorado National Speedway.

Decided to give the circle drags a try. Two street cars race each other for one lap, from a standing start.

I got eliminated first round but had an absolute blast.

We should get a group of Broncos together when they do it again next year.

The overall winner was a Dodge 1/2 ton 4x4 powered by a twin turbo Cummins. He beat out a bunch of really nice mustangs and a Pontiac G8 that has been winning all year.

That sounds like fun.
How do they pick who gets inside lane? Or do they stagger the start?
Is that a 1/2 mile track?

total luck of the draw

the track entrance is single lane so if you are in front of your opponent in line, you get lane choice

if you win, you go to the center of the track and wait until they call you to line up with your next opponent who has also won. you got to get to your desired lane first

That sounds like a ton of fun. It would be awesome to see a bunch of EBs duke it out.

they start with 16, I think we could get that many guys rounded up and call them to reserve that session / night for us ?

plus, and I don't know if they do this all the time, but last night they gave me two VIP tickets for any event. free entry fee and no-charge VIP parking

I bet we could. Heck, Jeremy could take up 3 of those by himself.

I'm in for two.

Don't tell Airbur, with his new high HP engine it just would not be fair.

Can I have a rolling start handicap? How about 2nd to 3rd gear, the turbo starts to push real nice around then!

[Justin]

You could suggest a 2000rpm limit?

I see a trans-brake in your future!!!

No trans brake on a manual. He just needs to learn how to brake boost if the clutch will hold.


I might be down. I bet my 79 could run with eric's 427.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I was wondering who would catch me at that. I would have bet money it was going to be you!

I've brake boosted once so far while trying to get the rear end to break loose, the turbo sound was sweet, but the burnt clutch smell took two days to go away.
