Default Speed World Arizona - Going, going gone...

I spoke to Victoria Grifffey last night. She was track Manager for I don't know how long, 20 years? Anyways, two parties approached the State of Arizona about taking over the track with refurbishments. The laundry list of refurbishments the State handed them was long; water, sewer, permanent building structures, the whole nine yards. Guessing a $5,000,000 or so investment. Way over the top for all involved. And the underlying theme was the State was no longer interested in being part of the drag racing, motocross, truck racing, etc., industry.
The Arizona Department of Transportation will use it as a storage facility. Someday it will be something else. But not a racing facility.
Oh, the Radio Control Flyers club, primarily retiree's that operate and fly from the asphalt model airplane airstrip, will remain. Don't want to piss of the retiree's!
Dan the ***** had a rummage sale last week. Anything and everything left was for sale. Of course he already took the bleachers and sold them for scrap metal. I hear he was selling stuff for $5.00 and up. Anything to make one last buck. And therein lies his problem. He never gave a crap about the racers like the previous track operators did.
I hear Firebird is getting some improvements like a new opti-fibre timing system.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TRACK BEFORE IT'S GONE!
