One man’s vision on the side of a mountain in Morrison, Colorado turned into 65 years of racing memories that fans, drivers and teams will never forget.
So much quarter-mile history has been made on the hallowed grounds of Bandimere Speedway. From earth shattering times and ear splitting engines to legendary icons racing each other during the NHRA Mile-High Nationals. Will we ever hear the thunder of 12,000 horsepower on the mountain again?
We’re sad Bandimere Speedway is closing its doors, but we’re thankful for the memories and the chance to look back at how it all began. The Bandimere family takes us back to what started out as a dream and turned into one of the most coveted race tracks in drag racing history. 65 years is, undoubtably, a good run. We can’t wait to see what comes next.
Out of all the drag strips in the country Bandimere Speedway was the only side by side drag strip that I really wanted to go to. It just looked like a cool atmosphere of cars, people and the scenery when I would watch races on TV.
