    So sad about Bandimere. Just glad we were able to get so much good racing content out of it before it closed, and it can live on in these types of videos

      the owners of Bandimere are planning on making a new track next to DIA. it's what you call insurance. people move next to a track, then get mad at the track being loud. if people live next to an airport but complain about it being loud, well tough shit.

      that what CO did with DIA. People moved in and around the old denver airport and complained. So they took the most land any airport has even been built on to prevent this in the future. You just can't fix r e t a r d like buying house next to a drag strip to then complain.

    I was able to chat and hand out at the pit with the white chevette couple that evening and it is one thing that makes drag racing great but they were very cool and super friendly. I m sure they had an impact in more than just myself and I m sure many many other participants are responsible for similar. Sincerely thank you to the chevette couple from Texas/Oklahoma and also some of the crew I bumped into as well were awesome I very much appreciate all of you and your efforts. I think it goes with out saying that bandimere going away is incredibly sad and leaves a huge hole in my heart as many others feel I m sure as well but I m very grateful to have this night be my good bye to thunder on the mountain… I once lived close enough to hear the top fuel and even the pro stock cars rumble down the strip during testing sessions.. that will be missed 😢

    Oh man here we go...
    Can't believe Bandimere is closing down! This pisses me off more than making me sad. The decision certainly can't be about property value, as there are countless empty acres all around there in Colorado.
    I can understand a money problem as we all are dealing with that. But if thats the case why didn't the owners reach out to the racing community for some help?
    As a lifetime Detroiter, seeing the original Detroit Dragway close for good, then watch it turned into a sea of warehouses made me both sad and mad. That happened sometime in the early or mid 90s. It was so upsetting that i dont care to remember the date and time when it all ended. The only satisfaction i got from that time was being able to race there in it's final month of existence. So many tracks gone, not near enough new ones being built, or made, or saved. A dragstrip can be very successful if managed right. Just ask Bill Bader of Norwalk Raceway. He knows the deal.

      It's all up to the owners and the offers they get, I would think. The whole management of the strip and crew and safety. They could just say eh I'll take the money and move on without a thought. Seen it happen live at a local 1/4 mile strip in Arkansas can't remember where but north west ish.

    • @williamstamper442
      @williamstamper442 Рік тому +1

      I understand what y'all are saying... It's all about the money. I mean, yeah it always is. What I'm trying to say is that a good promoter along with a dedicated track owner and supportive staff and crew can make or break a track. The right people can take it from a ho-hum experience to a mind blower every weekend and therefore attract all the racers people want to see. That attracts the crowd. Us racing crowd are more than happy to support a bangin' job of promoting and managing a good track. I've never been there but from what I understand bandimere is an awesome track facility wise. It's not that old and the infrastructure and layout are on the money. Yeah they picked a spot 5000-6000 feet in the sky but that's what makes this track unique is that the less air density affects everyone equally. The challenge is enticing for us midwesterners to show what we can do at "any track any time" kind of mentality. Why not play that up?
      Again, ask Bill Bader of Norwalk fame how to run a racetrack! I mean that track still sells local ice cream, 1 freaking pound of quality ice cream in a cup.. for One Dollar! Clean large restrooms, free showers, state of the art grandstands, a darn good and fast racing surface, list goes on and on. You know, things that make the racers and spectators want to keep coming back. As far as promoting races, there are some seriously talented people out there who know how to throw a party when it comes to gathering the quickest and fastest cars around to their event. If your shows are lacking it might be worth it to hire a few of these guys to promote an event at your facility. Colorado has some serious winters I know, but that can still be worked around.
      All I'm trying to do is point out positive things that track owners can do to increase revenue and make it worth their time. Just selling out seems like, uh well... A sell out. If it's just about the money then why did they get involved in the first place? Like anything good in life, often you have to work for it. At least a little bit. By now I'm sure y'all know what I'm trying to say here, and I hate to see another track go bye bye. We made it thru the stupid covid, surely we can continue to make it thru whatever else is in store for us all. If ww3 wipes out 90% of the population and the world has to be rebuilt again from scratch, I guarantee you the first two pieces of the next generation of transportation line up next to each other, the two men are gonna want to know which one is quicker and faster. For a more realistic comparison of hard times vs drag racing is 1973 and the gas crunch. Gas went to record breaking highs for that time, never experienced before. Detroit muscle suffered but still didn't matter people were out there drag racing even when gasoline doubled in price and was even difficult to buy for awhile. Dad daily drove his 1967 442 during that gas crunch and we got thru it just fine.
      We are American People and we can and will get thru whatever is being thrown at us and none of it will prevent us from drag racing!

You would realize that place is a rare gold mine without the mines. The altitude is the only remotely close negative remark you will ever here from anyone about bandimere. Rest easy bandimere.
