drag racing track
Is there any drag racing track in colorado spring area?

I don't think there are any in the springs area. The only one I really know of is Bandimere. I know that's where erod has gone when he has gone to the strip, and he lives down in the Springs.

Pueblo Motorsports Park I'm fairly certain has a drag strip. I haven't been yet, but I think the drag strip is actaully a part of the front straight of the race circuit. Though they are/where redoing the racing surface of the track portion so I don't know if it will be open anyhow.

Pueblo Motorsports Park and Bandimere are your two choices. Pueblo is closer, but always crappier. It's also cheaper. Last time I was there I was spinning 4th gear, which I don't even do on the street. Bandimere is farther away and more expensive, as well as higher altitude, but the track is always prepped better so you tend to have more traction there.
Maybe with the money they got to resurface everything in Pueblo they will be able improve the drag strip as well. Part of the issue is the area around the strip is wide open and very sandy. So the wind blows sand onto the track. Bandimere is at the foot of the mountains so there's no wind.

That's normally the staging area for the dragstrip. Here's a video of a buddy of mine running 944Spec on the Pueblo road course. They start out on the drag strip which is the front straight and come through the staging area and back onto the dragstrip starting around 1:40.
