Not sure if they have the stands up yet or not. Admission is $10 for the weekend. On Saturday, High Precision Racing will be there with yummy (and free!) Eldorado Organic Vitamin water:

Come out and be a part of the first ever MRA race weekend at HPR. Local racing needs your support! Jason DiSalvo (http://www.jasondisalvo.com/) will be in attendance too. :)

I'll see ya'll out there, if not both days at least for Sundays races.
Hopefully the weather will be a little better on Saturday than they're saying right now.
Sunday should be about perfect if the rain holds off with temps in the 60's.

And from what I've heard they don't have seating yet so bring a lawn chair.

Yeah? Even better going down the straight and noticing that you have no brakes like you did before you left paddock :shocked::shocked::shocked: that'll make you pee a little


Thanks to TFOG for having the mille 4 pins on hand tonight! :rock::makeout:

There are some stands at the exit of turn one and there are stands at the pit entrance/exit that gives you a decent view leading up to the front straight.

$10 admission to come and watch the first ever motorcycle race at Highplains.

Added bonus is Jason Disalvo and Matt Lynn are out the scootin around pretty quickly.

The races rawked. Wyeth kicks ass :up:




BTW it is 111 miles round trip from C270 and I70. Track has a whole lot of potential.

The only thing that would have made it better -------- no wet weather (read mud) ------- and access to the infield and the elevated areas. Except for the area around the pits, a 2.55 mile track has yet to be explored basically. I shall return.

That was turn 8. I worked that corner on Sunday. I think I ended up picking up ~5 bikes off that corner. Good times...
