I did not get to experience 2nd Creek, but have turned a lot of laps at PPIR and Pueblo (broke my back in an accident at Pueblo). If you have the chance, come out and turn some laps at High Plains, and if you want to go a little further east, give Hastings a try. Wonderful tracks. Did the 25 hours of Thunderhill in 2009, that was a hoot, and just beautiful out there.
If the current users don't like it there, send 'em to Pueblo - they'll have a new found appreciation. When I learned that Larry wanted to build in CO and was told "no" I couldn't believe it. What a lost opportunity.
And definitely not trying to sand-bag

While I've turned a few laps, I still have a LOT to learn. I still can't even heal/toe

And winning HPDE is what motivated me to go wheel-to-wheel
