Day 7: High Plains Raceway CO, 450ish Miles

We had an hours drive to High Plains from the hotel his morning. Had a great nights sleep at the Holiday Inn Express and felt good. High Plains is the oddest place for a racetrack, it's in the middle of nowhere in the plains of Colorado.

The circuit was very challenging with lots of elevation changes and several blind corners. Many cars went off track with varying dgress of damage. For a change, I managed to keep all four wheels on the blackstuff. Unfortunately, I made some mistakes and managed 14th and a 16th place. Those results pushed us to up 21st overall, which is becoming respectable.

Here is a vid of me coming down the front straight and going into turn 1...

My agricultural antics of the day before were captured by a photographer...see the amazing pic below. How many wheels are touching the ground and how many are still on track?


Tonight we are near Hastings Nebraska for two road courses and an autocross followed by 600 miles. Its going to be the longest day of the week tomorrow...wish us luck!
