Gila River Raceway? That would be my guess.

I don't believe they are taking the word Firebird completely out of the title at this time.

Does anyone know how I can get a hold of charlie allen? I have a 68 dart that he raced in 68. I have pictures of it in the nostalgia super stock section 68 dart ss/ea 440. I would like to get more history of the car.

x2 on that Robbie, if not "Wild Horse Pass Raceway" (or even "Speedway")?

Re: Any update on Firebird/ SpeedWorld Phoenix
 

Guys ,we are tentatively scheduled for Saturday, April 27th.

I say tentatively, because there is a whole lot of work to be done beforehand.

Some of the equipment has not been purchased yet, staff has not been hired and so on..
This will all be assessed as soon as the current occupant has vacated the premises...
So, no events , nostalgic or otherwise will take place until this happens..
But look for the grand re-opening with The Southwest Nostalgia Drags..soon

I hope the new owners know how to prep the track. It sucked saturday. Cars were loose all day and one guy hit the wall. geez:mad:

Robbie, You didn't think they would leave there with any extra glue left behind, did you?

Re: Any update on Firebird/ SpeedWorld Phoenix
 

That is what happens when you use cheap VP Lane Choice instead of the better and more expensive VHT. If I get hired back ,I hope I can convince the new management to spend the money and get a good quality product. I've gotten very tired of trying to make a junk product work like it should.

I saw Darren Dozel crash his T/S car around the 300' mark. Hate to see that happen but anybody that expected the track to be in tip-top condition with a bracket race, monster trucks and Robosaurus all wrapped up on the last event was kidding themselves.
I hope the new management buys the good stuff and we can move forward with a nice track once again. Maybe I'll get lucky and be at their first race!

Wow, more reason I'm glad I stayed away from there, since that LODRS mess. I hope that guy's allright, and Raul I too hope you'll have some influence on proper track prepping!?
