You might check out Castle Rock as well. Some open spaces there and only about 20 minutes from DTC.

Nice! Only I miss the dirt days and the corner drifting.

 

yea those were bad ass races!

 

2011, last year it had dirt...

Got it on the list as well, thanks man. Am I right in assuming if you are north of Longmont, go ahead and rule out working anywhere in DTC, especially during winter months. I lived in upstate NY until I was 22, so I have sat in traffic during a storm. But not a blizzard in a major city, I can guess it is much worse.

 

Yeah baby! I like how his pavement run in the beginning is slower because he has to run a tire suitable for both pavement and dirt. No stickies there!

Still that Red Bull run was F***ing fast. I would shit my pants all the way up going that fast, that high, with no guard rails.

 

even better...2001 open wheel and all dirt

My personal preference - I would say if you think you are going to work in DTC at some point don't look North of Thornton. The drive in the snow would be a disaster but on any given day our traffic on I-25 is horrific.

Sean / Ben / Ost - 120th to DTC in rush hour? 45 minutes? An hour?

 

it would be hell trying to get down to DTC from the north in a storm, heck on normal traffic days i thing it would be horrible trying to go south to get to DTC though!!!

i used to live in broomfeild area and getting down to the north side of denver was hell sometimes. I couldnt imagine trying to get 20 to 30 minutes south of denver on a no traffic day to get to DTC. Hence why im south

I live south in highlands ranch which is to snug for you i would think, but castle rock or roxburough you could probably get some land and not be terribly far from DTC area.

 

Inside track on Roxborough - Stay away! They have water rights challenges and are still dealing with sewage piping challenges. You can buy a nice home cheap there for sure but unless they figure out the above it could be a dry home with some back up.

 

In rush hour - easily an hour

 

Yeah, probably more on I25. I know from the door of my previous house (Trilby & Timberline in Fort Collins) to my buddy's front door off of 120th & Huron was 45min w/o traffic. That stretch from there down to the DTC would be nearly that with decent traffic and with bad traffic could double. I know when I was commuting from our current house (NW of Loveland) to my office in Aurora it would be about 1-1.25hrs generally. In the winter that commute would extend to well over 2.5hrs and in some cases even more. That SUCKED more than I care to elaborate on. To think that every day I could have driven to Nebraska where we're from and back in less time while I was sitting in traffic was disheartening to say the least. On top of that I was an account rep and my area was Wheat Ridge/Arvada so to put 5k miles per month on my car was pretty common. The day I got laid off from ADP was one of the greatest days of my life.

 

I could make it to work, leaving at 6am from 120th and I25, and make it to Dry Creek in 30min. Going home it is always an hour, there was never a time that it wasn't at least a full hour driving going home.

 

Wyoming (Northside) traffic woes....

Southside FTMFW!

 

Better than here a couple years ago

 

Haha... must be Houston.
