Anthony's Towing Pulls the Wheels Off at Bandimere

   Anthony, of Anthony's Towing, Colorado Springs CO shows off his 1971 Nova at Bandimere Speedway on Wednesday, August 25th, 2010.



  Wednesdays are a Test and Tune day for the public to bring cars to the track and see what they can run.


Only a Few Functions left at Phipps...

   Melissa and Dez are amongst the last few couples to enjoy Phipps Mansion and it's 6.5 acre property  and 33,000 sq ft mansion for public gatherings and functions.  Melissa and Dez were married in June at The Chapel at Red Rocks and shared their reception with family and friends at Phipps Mansion in Denver.





   The Mansion has been purchased by Political activist Tim Gill and his husband, Scott Miller for their private residence.  There will no longer be any public functions at the mansion after November 2010.

A BIG Splash in the Colorado River

   On September 12th at approximately 10:00 a.m., a vehicle plunges into the Colorado River on I-70 near Grand Junction. 


   Near mile marker 57, a man driving a gray Chevy pick-up came off an exit ramp onto I-70 while darting in and out of traffic erratically and at high speeds.  The Chevy proceeded East on I-70 for less than a mile when he suddenly rear-ended a white Ford Ranger Pick-up. This in-turn sent the Chevy into the guard rail. His right front tire was the only thing keeping the Chevy from plummeting into the Colorado River.



    Needless to say, the tire and wheel broke from the truck and sent the Chevy into the river, not before throwing the driver through the wind shield.  The driver, upon being ejected, landed on the river bank and the truck in the river.  Amazingly enough the driver survived and was transported to a local hospital.
