Bandimere Speedway, commonly referred to as Thunder Mountain within National Hot Rod Association circles, is a quarter-mile drag racing facility located near Morrison, best known as the site of the annual NHRA Mopar Mile-High Nationals event. The speedway was the vision of John Bandimere, Sr., who envisioned the facility as a safe track for young racers to develop skills and practice away from city streets. Since its 1958 opening, seating capacity has increased from approximately 8,000 to more than 23,500 and the facility has grown to more than 10 times its original size. The track is noted as a unique track on the NHRA circuit due to several factors, including the impact of altitude on track times.
