Pics and brief video from last week at the track

Last weekend I headed out to the local track for a little fun. A young friend dropped by and took these pictures as well as this brief video. I thought you guys might enjoy it.

The track is 2nd Creek Raceway in CO.

The car is my Evo. Mods: Vishnu Sig turbo back with cat delete, Xede with 91 map loaded. – otherwise completely stock including Advans.

Very Short Video -- right click, save as


I believe this was a cooldown lap as the car doesn't appear to be under load


Pitching it in in turn 1


Zoomed in -- note the front tire angle. Can anyone say understeer?


Spectator Hook -- the tightest corner on the track


Same picture -- just a little zoomed in

2 formula Mazdas, 996 TT X50, NSX and a light weight 911.

Unlimited track time for $48

Seems like a big rear swaybar would make that track alot more FUN =)

that looks like so much fun!!

one question, is there a need for a certain kind of license for taking your car out to a track like that? I talked to someone at the Chicago autoshow saying how he's finished with the first part of his race license school and he needs to go through another to get his racing license...don't know the specifics but he said after that, he can drive on Road America...

You dont need anything but a regular drivers license (if that) to take your car on the track... however, you do need to finish competition driving schools and get competition license to RACE your car wheel to wheel.

tracking your car is not racing... BIG difference.

A normal 1/2 day is $60. I buy a frequent lapper card so each 1/2 day only costs me $48.

It might be a bit of a long drive from NM. There are some better tracks such as PPIR and even Pueblo Motosport Park that would be a little closer to you.

it is only a 5-6hr drive to Denver from here. I love the drive up there anyways. Mountain runs are the best. Thanks for the links though

Wow i didn't know there was a track in Pueblo. The website didn't have a course layout. You go there often?
