Rocky Mountain Truck Fest at Bandimere Speedway


It's fun in the sun in the Front Range. Racing, showing and rock climbing. Bandimere Speedway is the place in August to be for racing trucks. All trucks, from 10 second quarter mile diesel pickups to Class eight dump trucks race each other. Or rather their own time as a bracket race.

Great balls of fire ! Pyro jet engine powered International Transtar  truck with after burner. A blade came loose in the turbine and the run was over.

The fire show coming out the stacks was for show and it was a cool show from http://rocketbillyracing.com/PYRO.php someday I'll get to see fire coming out the rear too.


Then there was the S-10 with a jet engine called Jett Lagg. And it did make it down the track like streak of lightning! With a helicopter engine, the Jett Lagg accelerates at 4 g's and stops at 6 g's with a parachute.

You can't beat fire, smoke and trucks.

Classic trucks have fun next to farm trucks, street trucks and work trucks.
