Century 21 Raceways was a complex consisting of a 1/4 mile dragstrip and a paved oval with a figure 8 track. A larger paved oval was proposed and some earth moving started, but it was never completed.

Mountain View (Erie) Dragway
The drag strip was located in Erie, Colorado. It was about 10 miles north of Denver just west of I-25. There was a clear view of the front range of the Rockies from the strip. Sanctioned by both AHRA and NHRA for a period which was very handy for those that ran the numbers and able set records in both associations with the same time card run. The strip was perpendicular to a state road and there was hardly enough room to turn a digger around because the fence was so close to the starting line. This was the first strip in the Denver area that offered a few covered pits with powered outlets. Albert Broncucie owned and operated this this dragstrip with an iron hand. The photo on the left was the aftermath of a Alan Bockla run, he was the first racer to break 200 mph in Colorado.
