What Our Racers Say
Here are some wonderful comments from our racers and spectators.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julesburg Dragstrip is equipped for any manner of straight-shooter gas-gogglers. Diesel-friendly, vendor-vacant. Sidelines breed a host of characters, such as Johnson, Peter Will, and Tammy, who are often regulars. Brandamere once won the whole dragstrip with a swish of an accelerator. In fact, let it be known across all draggers that not once did someone spill their coffee at this strip. Being that the league is no longer in my life, I am not as competitive as I once was. But I’ll tell you this: This strip drags more robust tires, wheels, engines, exhaust chambers, and spark plugs. The blue collars will tell you that entertainment is excellent. And in fact, the people, while lovely, are not particularly friendly. This comes from a grain of salt, with a grain of salt being that I’m an outsider and not part of the league. But as far as the United States goes, the best possible location is here at Julesburg. The strip of all strips. In fact, I brought my kids here once, and while they felt at home, it actually was slightly dangerous due to the lack of fences. Johnny actually fell and hit his head, but that wasn’t because of the guzzlers or the fanfare. It was the fact that the race was so exhilarating, he slipped. Todd and his crew are pretty polite, almost always helpful. I’ve only seen them in a really bad mood once. I give this place five stars only because I have no family, except for my kids. And they seem to have an okay time, ultimately. They were disappointed, but that’s neither here nor there. Everyone enjoys the atmosphere and the condition of the track. My first time there, the environment was stupendous. My last time there, it was really good. The staff was cantankerous yet charming. The shop was shut down to close; I think Todd had an issue that day. Yeah, the cars are really good. Only slight rust damage on one vehicle, which I noticed. The rest were shipshape. We did choose to repave a very small part of the parking lot, but that’s only because we were so jammed up with exhaust fumes in our own car that we didn’t know up from down. Todd, we okayed the extension. However, I’ve heard that it used to be a cemetery for indigenous people, which they paved over. I don’t believe they removed the graves, but these things happen in the United States. God bless. The last thing I’ll say is my kids remind me every morning: “Daddy, daddy, wake up. Remember that strip? Remember when the two engines popped out off the hood and rubbed up against each other. Very fast.” The issue was that they bore out the central cylinder, causing oil leakage. But the levitation was unforgettable. Realistic, though. Realistically, go here if you can. True Elia Lehman2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
