Speedworld Arizona
 
I just spoke to a friend who lives in Mesa, AZ and he stated that Speedworld Dragway in North Phoenix is still operating. Is that a true statement? I thought Speedworld was done.

False.
As far as Done, there is a strip and a tower there still, so I would never say done at this time.
There is always a possibility someone will make a successful pitch to the County/State.
If that doesn't happen within a few years though,, I would say "done"

Not much left on Speedworld property except the tower(very badly deteriorating) and the strip(that is falling apart on a daily basis)

That is a shame. I always enjoyed my visits there.

Really depressing. I spent almost 20 years at Speedworld.

Thanks, Jeff ..for dispelling a few rumors around town this week.

So ,the track is NOT open, and the track is NOT all plowed up.

As I understand, there are some legal issues still going on with the property.
