Gentlemen, Start Your Engines

The 28th of July 2005 marks the kickoff of Mile High Mayhem #8. Denver, Colorado is not the very center of the United States even if you count Alaska and Hawaii as the Western edges. Nearby Erie is, however, the epicenter of Stateside scooter racing, the midpoint meeting point showdown grounds between the dominant American Scooter Racing Association out of California, and the up-and-coming Eastern States Racing Association.  Mile High Mayhem has been on the rise among our top scooter rallies, indeed for its convenient location, but mainly for its thoughtful organization. Now it's not only a weekend for cruising the Colorado countryside, but a time for testing those ten-inches out on the track. In 2004 the weekend began on Wednesday with the inaugural Scooter Racing Nationals. 2005 sees it the other way around, with the races taking place after the party, on Monday, August 1st.  Maybe this way an idle visitor or two will have a go during Sunday's practice session, decide to enter officially the next day, and call in sick or something. Maybe it's not too late for you to change your travel plans either. I encourage you to try it!  Vespaway Trivia  Guess who that is getting a good look at the speedometer...1383838_imgjohn_1
