No more Phoenix drags

[JackR]

Tucson will be closest track after next April. Firebird will surely be missed

Becomes another dirt lot. Drag racing hasn't been the same since bee line shutdown decades ago. That was racing back then

Tucson isn’t bad but it’s a trailer trip and 110 miles.

I think bigger plans in the works. Heard talk about a Disneyland type deal also the build up for the state fair. Being casino owned has alot to do with it also.

No More Wild Horse Pass (Tribal owned now)
formerly Firebird Raceway in Chandler Az,
also offroad racing, famous for IHBA Dragboat track, oval lake course too
road course, rally cross & formula drift, RV access etc.
a lot more than just drag-racing there

For a damn overpass

I'll bet that tribe must have got a great paycheck 'to let it go'
probably a offramp right next to a 'new casino deal' too

Bondurant racing school too is likely gone.
