    Thumbs up High Plains Raceway

    I went out for the walking tour of HPR this morning, and all I can say is WOW! Pavement is down, and the layout looks like a total blast. 2.5 miles of twisty, technical asphalt, with a couple of serious gut check sections. Blind crests, huge elevation changes, long straights, wild combo corners, it's got it all. I strongly suggest if you haven't donated yet, it's time to get off the fence. There's already enough funds for a basic, primitive racetrack, but a little more would go a LONG way towards a few amenities. If you were one of the ones that said "I'll give when I actually see a racetrack", it's time for you to get off the fence and get behind this. I know I'll be donating more as time and funds allow.

    Note: If you wanna get a look at the new track, go to the HPR website to arrange for a tour or get a video of an ACTUAL LAP
    Thanks, Jim

    Yep, we rode bicycles around last weekend and I was completely stunned by it I think its turn 3 that you approach and really don't have a clue if its going to go left or right. There are some quick and cool elevation changes for sure.

    Can't wait for next spring!

    Remember not so long ago when some people were saying that?


    I must admit I was one of those people. Being an Architect I could see hard times coming in the construction industry. I had jobs just flat out die, and others get drastically cut due to banks not lending money. I had a 18 million dollar project get funding pulled after LOI's had been signed by major corporations (which you NEVER see). I was one of those thinking that the hard times would hit HPR.

    However through the hard work of Glenn and his staff they truly pulled off something that I never thought would be reality. I doff my cap to all the people that made HPR possible.

    Now its time for me to suck it up and make my personal donation and also a business donation. I can't find the tread that had the donation link/PDF form? Anyone?

    Once again, great work for all that made it happen!

    David,

    And my hat off to you for following up on your word. You said you'd donate when you saw a track, and now you're doing what you said.

    Here is the donation form.

    I said that... And you are an idiot. Very mature approach. How about I piss in your face for being an idiot?

    I didnt see where you said that and have no idea who you are. I just said alot of people said it would never happen, guess what It did. If someone wont donate 5 or 10 bucks to make something happen that would benifit them. I hope they dont ever ride there.

    As for being mature? I rode a shopping cart down the biggest hill at the new track. Ya Im real mature

    Mike, I gotta say those cheater bearings that you were running in your cart were not very "mature" at all. You are lucky Brown was unfamiliar with the rulebook, otherwise there would have been a protest.

    Mature approach? Enough said.

    I will donate in the usual way, I will pay my entry fee the day of the event. Unless of course people who scoffed and didn't poney up a donation are not allowed to ride it, which is ok too.
