In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the 1320video team embarks on their penultimate day of racing in the exhilarating Rocky Mountain Race Week. But today, they take a break from the track and indulge in the sheer joy of driving through the picturesque mountainous terrain. The breathtaking views and the company of fellow racers make this leg of the journey a favorite for our adrenaline-fueled enthusiasts.
As they make their way to Lookout Mountain, the team is treated to a stunning vista of the city of Golden, a sight they had driven past the previous day. The camaraderie among the racers is palpable as they carve through the winding roads, each with their own powerful machines. Conversations ensue, with discussions about the unique colors of the Nissan GT-R and the impressive performance of the Honda S2000.
The 1320video team's excitement is contagious as they share their experiences and achievements during the week. They revel in the relaxed and family-like atmosphere of this particular race, contrasting it with the intense competitiveness of previous events. The Rockies have truly captured their hearts, with one member declaring it the best Dragon Drive they have ever done.
Amidst the scenic beauty, the team encounters a heartwarming gesture in the form of pink nails. A participant, known as "the pig nail lady," paints everyone's nails to spread breast cancer awareness and raise funds for the cause. It's a small but meaningful way to show support and solidarity within the racing community.
The adventure continues as the team explores the lively gambling towns of Blackhawk and Central City. The transformation of these towns over the years is astounding, with parking lots now filled with an array of race cars. Photographs are taken to commemorate their presence on the route, adding to the memories of this unforgettable journey.
But the highlight of the day lies in the ascent of Mount Evans. The team is in awe of the majestic landscape as they make their way up the mountain. The roads may be treacherous, but their cars handle the challenge with grace. At an elevation of over 12,000 feet, the air is thin, and every breath is a reminder of the exhilaration of conquering the heights. Unfortunately, the peak is closed due to inclement weather, but the team remains grateful for the opportunity to drive through these awe-inspiring surroundings.
As the day draws to a close, the 1320video team reflects on their adventures and prepares for the final day of racing at Bandim Speedway. The stakes are high, and the competition is fierce. With class rankings and the Blackwing competition still up in the air, the team gears up for the ultimate showdown. The anticipation is palpable as they bid farewell to the mountains and head back to the track, ready to give it their all one last time.
