    oh ok, sorry, I thought you were hinting at back roads where you can speed without getting caught..

    I don't know of any in Denver, but here in the Washington DC area, there's a nice place called AllSportsGP, that was apparently inspired by the Monaco F1 circuit. They have hotlaps, and staged "Grand Prix" type events as well. They even have "SuperKarts" which are more advanced karts you can use after achieving a certain time on their circuit.

    Maybe someone from Denver knows of anything similar to this?

    I believe this is THE place, though I have never been there.

    I have been wanting to get a group together and rent the place for an afternoon but have been too busy this summer.

    I'm sure there are many people here who would get in on a day at the kart track.

    It closed a couple of years ago :( I second what others have said, The Track is THE ONLY place to go in Colorado if you want to really experience high performance karting.

    I've run at The Track (over by Centenial airport?), it was OK. I like the track in Grand Junction better:

    http://www.gjmotorspeedway.com/

    I used to have a 125 shifter kart that I've run here and there. The GJ track was built specifically for kart racing and is very nice. There is a decent track outside Colorado Springs, too - can't remember the name right now. And isn't there one at Bandemere anymore? Maybe I'm remembering wrong.
    Anyway, if you have the opportunity to go to Grand Junction, you should check it out. Better yet, call me and I'll go with you! :)

    There was a pretty good show on Altitude Monday night (MNF sucks when they "feature" Arizona playing San Fran:)) it was a replay of the Rotax Championship from the "The Track" pretty cool stuff!

    The rentals at The Track are much better than those in Erie. I was out at The Track with my 11 year old son last Saturday and we both had a great time.

    The track at centennial is bretty damn good, but there is a track out in Erie called IMI motorsports complex, and they probably have the fastest one in colorado, Ive raced there alot, and they just re-paved the track, banked corners, its really great and its a 1 mile track so you get your moneys worth. Ive posted their website and a google earth of the layout of the track.
