The excitement is building for...

...this weekend’s motorcycle drags at Bandimere, and we wanted to send a quick note to remind those who have already signed up as well as those still thinking about it that the race is this weekend!

If you’re hesitant to sign up because...

...you’ve never raced before—don’t be! When we say it’s all about having fun, we mean it. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned vet, Team GPM will be there all day to support you and show you all the ropes you need!

If you’re hesitant to sign up because you have a Virago 250—don’t be! This event is for all bikes, from the screaming crotch rockets to the thumping cruisers, plus everything in between! Remember, all racing is based on a handicapped start system. This will allow slower bikes to be given a precise head start, making the most consistent riders—not necessarily the fastest machines—the winners.

If you’re hesitant to sign up because you don’t have enough information—don’t be! That’s what this e-mail is for, and you can call or e-mail us with any questions that you may have. We want you to join us!

If you decide that you would rather just come and watch, there’s nothing wrong with that. We’ll warn you right now though—you’re going to wish you had signed up!

Here’s a rundown of how the day will go:


The gates will open at 8:30am, but we advise being in line no later than 7:45am. That way, we have enough time to help you through tech and registration.

At 10:00am, the time trials will begin, and at 1:00pm, eliminations will begin.

All of our team riders will receive...

...a free team t-shirt along with other goodies. We have trophies available for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd highest finishers on the team respectively. These trophies are in addition to the trophies that will be given to the top finishers by Bandimere! We will also have plenty of water, ice, and shade available at the track!


If you would like to sign up or have any further questions...

......please don't hesitate to call or e-mail us! Our phone number is 303-761-2471 and our e-mail address is info@grandprixmotorsports.com. If you need to get in contact with us on Sunday when the shop is not open, you can call direct at 303-990-2755.
If you decide last minute to join us, no problem! Just let us know as soon as you know and we'll take care of you!


We hope to see all of you at Bandimere this weekend!
