Yeah the Autobahn Country Club is my stomping ground. It's great when they combine the two tracks together, definitely makes it more challenging. They have plans for a new clubhouse and apartments/garages.

You should come out, Chicago PCA rents it out frequently during the summer.

This is a little bigger under-taking than the Autobahn by Chicago. Will be interesting to see if it actually gets built. IF they do - I will go. It looks amazing.

Looks promising, though the main club house building facility looks like it was designed in 1970, the track(s) look a great variety and challenge.

Im not a huge fan of the circuit layout - too many long curved straights and 90-180 degree corners gives advantage to AWD cars. It should be neutral in that regard.

It was a poorly put joke heavy.

By the way, my view on this is that if they build it, we will come.

There are a number of FBO's for private aircraft in Denver. Only 500 miles from Omaha though! This could be very cool!

From the looks of the architexture this looks like it could be the next F1 SITE.

Why not shoot there for that. It seems like thats where the real money would be.


If they build i will come.

I'm speechless. I fully support this. In fact, before I even posted this, I took a long hard look at the pdf and then ran downstairs shouting to the wife "We're moving to Colorado!" about 50 times.

But I do have to wonder...why Colorado. It's not that it would be a "bad" location to build this track, but don't cars make more power the closer you get to sea level? Why not build a track in say eastern Washington state or somewhere were the performance envelope could be fully appreciated as opposed to nearly a mile above sea level?
