Ugh, the Mile High Nationals SUCK

[ray1970]

Complaining about the noise of 10,000 horsepower?
Turn in your man card.
Now!

But seriously I am in the "you knew the track was there when you bought the house" camp.
Like the people that whine about air shows when they bought a house by Jeffco Airport.
It's three days out of 365. Next year go camping for the weekend.


Somebody needs a good whiff of Nitromethane....I am hoping to come home from Bandimere tomorrow sunburned, tired, eyes and nose burning, ears ringing and covered in a fine powder of rubber!
'Murica!



On a similar note, I grew up about 5 miles SW of where Englewood Speedway used to be (Federal and Oxford). Every Sunday night during the summer we could sit on our porch and hear it like we were there.
The sound would "bounce", 1/2 a mile away from the track you could barely hear it.
Sounds like your in the "sweet spot" too.
Good times.

Says the guy who may be complaining soon about having the noise from a light rail train running fifty feet from his back door.

How much horsepower does a light rail have?

Don't like it? Pack your $hit and move.

Here it is 10:40pm, I live 7 miles away from Bandimere, and it sounds like they are drag racing right outside my window. It's a little freaking late to be racing 10k horsepower jet dragsters, don't you think Bandimere?!?!? I've been up since 4am. I need some sleep. Someone tell them to shut that shit down for the night. Fuck.

That is all.

You're the one crying. You go tell them. Maybe your parents can do it for you.

Once Hollohas gets some sleep I'm sure it will no longer be an issue.

Oh Snap !!!

All fair responses. Weak rant for sure. After a long day, I was just surprised about how late they were running. I'll clip a corner off my man card, but won't be turning it in BP.

I give your rant a 3. And they aren't jet powered, they're nitro engines. Jet drags are for exhibition only.

Says "jet drags" 9:15pm.



The atmosphere must have been just right last night because we were in the sweet spot. It's never been that loud at our place before.

For those saying "don't like it move"? Chill. It was a weak rant amongst friends after a long day. It's not like I started a petition to get the raceway closed or called in a noise complaint to the city.

I believe rain was the culprit. It delayed things for a bit pushing it later than usual.

Lots of records being set this weekend...

I'll swap you the 2-3 hrs of dragsters for our neighbor who thinks it's ok to leave a barking dog tied up outside all night. Make maters worse, she chained it to a tree, so............. once the dog runs around 3 - 4 times it's not choking itself and unable to move. BUT.......WE'RE THE BAD NEIGHBORS for being concerned about the animals welfare
