💙 It’s a boy! 💙

911 Dispatcher Megan recently helped welcome a very special little one into the world!

A family was traveling to Grand Junction when their baby boy decided he just couldn’t wait any longer. Megan calmly walked the family through the delivery and stayed on the line with them after their little boy arrived, making sure everyone was okay until EMS reached the scene.

What makes this story even more special? The call came during the final two hours of Megan’s last shift as a 911 dispatcher. Megan is moving on from dispatch to take care of a little one of her own, and we can’t think of a more meaningful way for her to close this chapter.

Congratulations to the family on their new arrival, and congratulations to Megan as she begins her own exciting new chapter!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of members of the Colorado State Patrol, Race-A-Cop is happening TONIGHT!

After learning about the staffing challenges affecting the event, CSP members have generously chosen to give their time to come out and make sure our community still has law enforcement officers to line up against at the track.

We cannot thank them enough for stepping up and supporting an event built around positive interaction between law enforcement and our automotive community. ❤️💙

Now we need the community to show them the same support!

🏁 Race-A-Cop – TONIGHT, August 14 and SEPT 11th
🔥 Friday Night Street Legal Drag Races
🇺🇸 Street Car Invasion Weekend
🚔 Come race against law enforcement or come out and cheer them on!

Come pack the track and show these officers how much we appreciate them giving up their personal time to make this happen.

UPDATE SEE MOST RECENT POST WE HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENT!! Please come support those that came out! Thank youuuuu Colorado State Patrol

We regret to inform everyone that Race-A-Cop, originally scheduled for tonight, August 14, has been rescheduled to Friday, September 11, 2026, due to unforeseen law enforcement staffing constraints.

We know many of you were looking forward to Race-A-Cop, and we truly appreciate the enthusiasm and support this event has received. We would rather reschedule and give our participating agencies the opportunity to be involved than move forward without the law enforcement participation that makes Race-A-Cop what it is. 🚔🏁

IMPORTANT: Street Car Invasion is NOT canceled or rescheduled! 🔥

Street Car Invasion Weekend and Friday Night Street Legal Drag Races WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT, August 14, as scheduled. We still encourage everyone to head to the track, support the event, and enjoy a night of legal racing.
