It was a good day with my family. We were 4 rows up in section 3 and the weather was perfect.
Got pretty misty after the last pair of Top Fuels went down the track and the announcer said “The last pair of Top Fuels cars to go down this track”*.
Looking at my youngest who is now 32 and realizing the Mile High Nats were the very first car races I took him to at 4 years old.
We have gone every year.
Looking out across the highway at the housing encroaching, remembering when any houses were distant points of light. Sad, another American icon gone.
