I had fun at PMP a little over one year ago... renting out a half trackday for $60 was a great deal! Only thing is that at nearly 5000ft altitude the car was somewhat lacking in performance (normally aspirated 1.8L 4 cylinder Honda), it could barely get to 100mph by the braking zone for turn 1. At MSR Houston with less distance and a similar entrance speed to the back straight it can get to about 120mph. Colorado has some beautiful roads, but the altitude is killer in the Breckenridge/Steamboat springs area - the integra actually sounded like it had a Subaru boxer 4 at the high altititudes when starting from a dead stop, which required near full throttle. Early morning snowstorms (6am) are fun too on max performance summer tires at 9,000+ foot altitudes. Beautifull country though, which reminds me I probably should have the Medium format film I shot there developed....

Sears in particular thinks their track is made out of gold... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) My friends in Durango always liked to go to Steamboat to ski even with Purgatory right there! The nicest road in Colorado I know of is US 550 the "Million Dollar Highway," named that because of the gold ore used to help make it back in the day when a million was a lot of dough for a road! http://www.roadtripamerica.com/places/million.htm - this link says the reason is controversial, I never heard any other explanation growing up. here's some nice amateur shots: http://travel.webshots.com/album/552126758VrvXMJ If you go there take about 50lbs of film!
