Wow, I'm really surprised.
I really thought they would choose Pueblo, CO. Pueblo was the obvious choice. Pueblo is about than an hour drive from Denver, so good transportation access from 'everywhere', pretty good lodging and other services for a large group of spectators, pretty nice town. Nestled up against the Arkansas river. The airport is out in open country with nothing but a DOT railroad test facility to sterilize for racing. Short day trips to a lot of other interesting sights, including the Royal Gorge Bridge, Monarch Pass, other beautiful gateways to the Rockies.
And instead, they picked Roswell, NM? ??? Really???? It is about 4 light-years, or at least a parsec, from any other spectator services or support. And other than 'green man' mythology, no other reason on god's earth to go there.
Well, in hindsight, I guess I am not at all surprised. RARA has repeatedly shown that it is just about the most dysfunctional organization I've ever known, with a consistent track record of refusing to make the obviously best decision on just about anything, so, there's that.....
At least Sports Class has developed other nice options.
1) Madras, OR, just 45 minutes north of Redmond/Bend, and about an hour south of the "gorge", so you can fly in, see some other fun sights, and enjoy good racing. Easy day trips to Sisters, OR, headwaters of the Metolius river, Smith Rock state park (no relation), Mt Jefferson. Extend your stay and check out the fun town of Hood River, home of the Western Antique Airplane and Auto Museum (just about the best collection of biplanes I've ever seen anywhere).
2) Las Cruces, NM. Access through El Paso, TX so spectator access is not too bad. Great racing course. Sight-seeing at White Sands is not out of range of a day trip. Watch out for the restricted airspace around Alamogordo/White Sands if you are going to fly in. Those close off a surprising amount of sky.
