2004 High Altitude Flathead/Inline Nationals, Bandimere Speedway
Flathead fan Jim Marlett's coverage of this event. Sez Jim: "I am still convinced that Denver, Colorado, is the epicenter of flathead drag race competition. The Flatheaders of Denver and Vintage Timing Association put on a series of points races at several drag strips in the area, but the gathering in Denver is an event looked forward to by flathead and inline racers all over the country. Some actually make it to the race."
