Now that test and tune is over with for this year is there a stretch of road somewhere that I can just test some acceleration for new parts I'm getting? I see all these YouTube videos of people in another state and their in some desolate location and they are testing fly bys etc. I'm just looking to test 0-60 or quarter mile.

I can wait until bandimere opens again but I was just curious.

 

a track?

 

Save it for the track. Best and most accurate results, and safest place to do it.

 

duh?

 

Go driving.
Find a straight stretch
Floor it
Time it

There you go.

If your doing it on the street its never really "Safe"

 

it's gonna be hard to find a flat spot in Colorado i would think. track would be your best option

 

i have an interceptor gauge and i always want to test the 0-60 and quarter mile setting, but i never set it up haha

i just go

 

Early morning (3am) hwy.

 

in the country on a monday night.

 

Bandimere is the track, but they end the test and tune (close the track to public) first week in October. Colorado gets snow often, but more so in January than this time of year so I don't quite understand it.

I guess I'll have to just wait or find a road like a lot have suggested.

I wish some of you were from colorado and knew of a good place.

Thanks all

I wish I could find something like this

This WV is fail haha

 

Dude there is TONS of spots like that around here man.

 

Let me know where. I feel like I have to head towards FT. Collins which is over an hour from wheat ridge or way out to like farmville east of DIA.

 

Depends how desolate you want it to be. I know some really good industrial spots and some that yea, are way out there. I'f you're in like wheatridge or westminster tho your most likely gonna have to go east no matter what, but I never go that way so i don't know what goes on out there.



A kinda old school place sorta up that way is 104th and havana. Google earth is your friend when looking for spots. . .

 

Ah screw it, I'm to lazy! I'll just wait until spring when the track opens back up. Too much hassle too much risk.

Better safe than sorry.

 

Very wise way to think

 

try testing it in a school and construction zone in the opposing lane of traffic.
