Rocky Mountain Race Week. https://www.facebook.com/RockymountainraceweekBandimere Pueblo Great Bend Kearney Bandimere This is pretty interesting. Simple rules, and if DW is East Coast, like everyone is guessing, this will be much more convenient for me. Keeping my eye on this one!

If I wanted to go to this I would only fit into
the index classes(10.00).. If I have read it right
they dont have any specs on the chassis.. since mine
is a tube chassis I couldnt fit in anything else..
plus I'm only allowed to run 10.0 or slower due to
license..
also.. whats the entry fee and do you have any guess
how many miles they run... is this the first year
for it

If this goes over well I hope he does the opposite
sides of DW.. in other words.. if DW is in the WEST
he does his run on the EAST and visa versa and changes
up the routes like DW... this could be a real nice
set up for all of us
