Take It To The Track

AAA helps teens race safely at Bandimere Speedway

Car racing is an exciting sport that requires training, discipline and skill—but the streets are no place for it.

Illegal street racing is a social activity. People gather in a parking lot, hang out with friends and challenge someone to a race. To provide the same opportunities in a safer environment, AAA has again partnered with Colorado State Patrol, Bandimere Speedway and Ralph Schomp Honda to give Colorado teens a chance to show off their cars and race each other on a real racetrack.

Since the "Take It To The Track" program began, more than 20,000 teen racers have attended the Wednesday night events. This year's season started in April and runs until early October at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

"Take It To The Track" is open to anyone with a valid driver's license. All participant vehicles must pass a technical inspection by qualified Bandimere employees to verify that the vehicle is safe for racing on the track. Participants 16 & 17 years of age must have a minor release form signed by both parents or legal guardians. Forms can be downloaded at www.bandimere.com under racers corner menu.
