I just can't get over how chill Steven is. When he's driving, he is in a zone and doesn't seem to let the race get to him. If the car is healthy, that guy 9/10 gets the job done. Natural driver there.

[@boostedboistevo]

Thank you! Much appreciated

[@PetersPan24]

Gosh, compared with spazoid Derrick and goofy, Steven is the Stig

[@christopher5110]

So true!!!!!! It’s so cool to see him evolve as a driver and also seeing the car go through changes!

[@lourdesrodriguez8320]

An extraordinary event, so proud of my boys (Ezequiel, Javi and Javier) . Thank you Brent, for your passion and good vibe. Im not crying, you are. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

It's such a beautiful scene too at Bandimere. Not gonna be easy to replicate that.

[@NoLyinEvry1sDyin]

Hoping they can find a piece of land close and be able to continue the legacy

[@SmokeeBearDrifts]

It is a amazing view at least from videos. Never had the opportunity to check it out. The next step is to find a great big plot of land and build the new Bandimere bigger and better.

@@codeack101wlck no one said I was, just saying more people are all about themselves and look for reasons to hate each other these days as a whole. It's not going to end well if it keeps going like it is.

[@CCDzine]

Brent, I appreciate you as a fellow softie getting on in years. It's hard to tamp down those emotions and I often ask myself why I feel the need to try. It simply shows that we are truly appreciative of the moment and that ought not be hidden. Either way it is evident that you are the genuine article. Onward and upward!

[@NotOldYetGaming]

I find the older I get, the softer I become. Cry at all sorts of shit

[@darrenbrisson4336]

Brent i actually had tears in my eyes after your speach youve been not only doing dynoing and building cars but also putting your money where your mouth is and actually drag racing your cars

[@ryanhogan1561]

made me tear up more than a couple times! The pride and enjoyment you have your kids and cars is why pfi is my favorite channel on youtube!! Thank you Brent for being just plain RAD!

[@dbldouble2018]

It's not the fact that it's ending.... it's the fact that countless memories and experiences have been made and people have grown so much fromeverything that that track has given. There will be more memories and experiences made else where but we live in the moment. Cherish everything that teaches you something.

[@darrenbrisson4336]

They're supposed to relocate sometime soon

[@genecromer3261]

Thank you, Brent. I grew up watching nhra events going back to the mid 70's... We have a house full of drag race enthusiasts ranging from 10 to 67, and I must say all of us men were in tears the entire video. Congratulations to you and your son. I remember watching Shane teach Steven how to drive a manual. Thank you. 😢

[@HunterAtheist]

Shout out to the camera guys and gals if there are any. Great shots and thank you for helping to bring us the action!

[@rikrocket4618]

Let's go Brent respect to you and your family watching from the uk

[@SmokeeBearDrifts]

Ive never had anything against Hondas but after watching Brent and the whole crew build and race them I gained a whole new prospective on Hondas and how versatile and rough driving you can do with them. Plus the power they can put down nowadays on those 4 cylinders is ridiculously amazing. Racing has definitely grown and we've become so much more knowledgeable about the cars and parts

[@BlondiesGarage]

Super sad to see that beautiful track shutting down. You guys always give it 1000% and we’re happy to see you made it with the freedom civic!

[@6181green]

Pretty sure Brent said they are building a new facility to replace it so that's a good thing

Being a CO native it makes me so sad to see that track disappear especially due to the circumstances. Big ups to getting shit done and ready to race as a goodbye. Keep up the good work Brent and PFI crew.

[@trope5105]

Are they destroying and getting rid of the the raceway? Me and my dad used to go to the Mike high nationals every year back in Warren Johnsons hay day. If they are getting rid of it, it's Denver gonna get a replacement track ya know? I'm just staying the vid so maybe I'll get my answer from the vid, so if so then my bad

[@trope5105]

@@DD-qw4pj that sux, I read the story and seems to be a trend across the country. Big Corp buys the land, rents it back to the raceway, then after a few years they are the agreement and kick out the the racers. I guess this wasn't the case with bandimere, but this is what happened to the track by me in slc utah a few years ago, same with Houston drag way and a ton of others.

F*** the EPA f*** the United States government and all their b******* and let's keep this sport alive because it is Saving Lives everyday and I swear to God the tracks are being shut down by payments from the government. When Cletus but DeSoto I swear to God I almost cried because I was there with my mother in the early 90s watching jet cars....

Info on the closure is pretty easy to find on google for those interested. Here is a snippet from a recent article. "The Bandimere family has operated the dragstrip on Thunder Mountain-nestled into the mountain in the Denver suburb of Morrison, Colo.-since 1958. They’re selling the property but plan to build a new, expansive dragstrip nearby. The aim is to welcome the NHRA back to the Denver market as early as 2025. John Bandimere Jr. said Wednesday that the current racetrack won’t become the site of a housing development but rather some sort of automotive-related endeavor."
