Things are underway and since the course is all macadam, records will fall.

Appropriate for both threads.

Yep
Yeah, the last dirt got paved over :(
I used to live out that way when it was still mostly dirt. Those unlimited class vehicles had quite a gamble on their hands for a while. If they pushed too hard on the pave they would have no tires left when they hit the dirt.

Heh - he's sponsored by some hotel in Cripple Creek. And yes, not PC, but there's a town in CO named that. About an hour from CO Springs by car. About 20 miles if you can fly - welcome to travel in the mountains.

Must be hard to drive that when the motor doesn't "talk" to you like a piston engine.

apparently not, as an electric car took 10th! (who knew!)
bad luck for Dallenbach and Tajima

really glad they are going to be OK. high dollar safety equipment sure pays off!
Holy Shit
That's gotta hurt no matter what equipment they have.
Wow...that's a crash!
I like to play this at the moment Jeremy goes over the edge.

Gotta love Goofy's instructional sports videos.
Would have been great if he'd done one on auto-racing!
