As posted elsewhere in BWB, but worth repeating, just in time for a bevy of Buell 1125r's... A new road motor course is being built on the Front Range. "The RING of the ROCKIES", is modeled after the famous Nuerburgring and is designed by the world-renowned Formula 1 racetrack architect, Hermann Tilke from Germany. What a wonderful time to own a Buell!!! When you see the race track, you will know that Tilke has created something very special. Once you drive the course, you'll be hooked. The track layout allows for several different configurations offering driving thrills for every level of driver; from the novice to the experienced racer. The track is located on an expanse of more than a thousand acres, allowing the track to follow the natural contours of the land, which incorporates canyons, bluffs, and ponds. From the map the track will be out by Deer Trail, east of Denver off I-70 near where I recently went exploring abandoned missile silo exploring. http://www.theringoftherockies.com/index.php?page= track <-- gives a spectacular animated view overlayed on the Goggle Earth actual 3-D images showing elevation changes in and out of ponds and rise & falls of the local terrain. http://www.theringoftherockies.com/ Of course already in Colorado are La Junta Raceway 3 mi. north of US-50 on Hwy-109. It is a 1.3 mile mostly oval track at 4,220ft elevation. Also Pueblo Motorsports at US-20 & Pueblo Blvd; 2.25 multi-turn course at 4,900 ft. Not far east is Motorsports Park in Hastings NB. 2.3 miles of several long stretches and multi-curves at 1,900 ft. West of course is fabulous & new Miller Motorsport just out of Salt Lake City with 4.5 miles of road course at 4,450 ft. |
