Default Repost of directions to Pueblo Motorsports Park

To get to PMP from the Front Range, proceed south on I-25 (about a 100 mile drive from Denver).

-Take Exit 101 off I-25 as you enter Pueblo and proceed west on Highway 50past the business district.

-Just past a bridge and large bend in the road, turn left at the stoplight onto Pueblo Blvd.

-Entrance to the track is the first right turn off Pueblo Blvd. Follow the paved road about two miles (it winds around) to the fenced entrance to the road course/drag strip.

-Be careful crossing the track as you make your way to the west end of the paddock. We will be using the classroom in the white two-story timing building this time.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to go, again. I would really like to because it seems like a great opportunity that won’t come around every day.

Everyone have a great time.

I will still be going, but I found out that the big brake kit I ordered will not in in time, so I will be running on stock brakes. Might have to sit out every couple of laps to let them cool...

Dude! Sorry to hear you won't make it. It will definitely be a class that takes it to the "next level". You'll be missed.

Sorry to hear your big brake kit won't make it in time. Not a problem to take a time out, but you'll definitely wish you had more brakes during the day. I'd recommend at a minimum, you make sure your OEM pads are in good shape and bleed your brake system with fresh DOT 4 fluid.

Speaking of bleeding Brakes... Reminder, I'm hosting a Tech Day at my home: https://my350z.com/forum/south-west/248326-tech-day-for-nissan-sport-pmi-safety-class-track-day.html

Resolute, Amarao, Abishop, Mudd, Bottom, Funkeymonkey1111, Bamyi, Kaiser; What are you waiting for!
I've been holding off due to some issues here at home, and now I'm dropping out. It looks like Becckie is about 10-14 days farther along than originally thought, and there's no way I'm going to be down in Pueblo the weekend she's due. It's hard enough for her now around the house, so I'm stepping up to do more and that's just going to be a bad day to bail on her. She's telling me to go and have a good time, but I know better. You guys will have a ball. I'm just glad I made it out in Dec. to PMI. Thanks again David.
Will

Will,

No one could possibly fault you for bowing out. You'll be missed, but I'm sure there will be many more opportunities for you this season. We'll be thinking of you and your wife in hopes of a trouble-free delivery and a healthy addition to your family.

Joel

Sorry you won't be able to make it, but congrats on the upcoming delivery. One missed track day is nothing - I think it's safe to say that we all support you being there for your family.

(And maybe Becckie will remember this when you get that World Challenge offer and have to be away 16 weekends out of there year).

Thanks guys. It's a crapshoot trying to figure out when she's really due, since we have no idea when we got pregnant. But she's all kinds of laid up and tired, and is having all the same signs of being in the home stretch as she had last time. Even if nothing happens that weekend, there's no way in good conscience I could leave her by herself with the kids the whole time. It's too much. But Becckie is a trooper and too good to me, so she talks a big game and is dissapointed that I'm not going.
So, someone please, please take some video or good picks (Joel I'll see some of you guys at the tech day on the 3rd.

Must be tough when you've had so much love makin' that you can't figure out when you conceived!

Sorry Will, but I won't be making it up to Denver on the 3rd. I found a local shop in Colorado Springs to do my tech inspection for me (Revolutions Tuning). In fact that's what I did today - passed with ease. I'm glad to know you'll be attending some NASA events this year though. Are you registered on the NASA RM forums? What's your screen name?

Sorry for the detour folks... Back on topic.

Joel

Will- sorry to be late to your party, but you're absolutely doing the RIGHT THING! Certainly, there'll be other occasions to go to the track, but to be around for such a special occasion is priceless. We'll miss ya, but Becckie might need you more that day!
