  • Speedworld...Div7 race next weekend...I'll be there !!!!!!!...Speedworld is CLOSING !

    Might be one of the last chances EVER to hit Speedworld...we'll be out there Feb 1-3rd running the junior dragster and getting my boy licensed in a Junior Comp car... come on out and say HI !!!!!
    They will be running big cars there too all weekend long....



    This is from Hal on their site....

    Wednesday Morning (today) Maricopa county officials
    on behalf of their Land & Development attorney Wayne Peck,
    refused to issue a Temporary Use Permit
    THAT THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO ISSUE,
    causing the cancellation of our National Open.
    CALL MARICOPA COUNTY, from wherever you are,
    and let your voices be heard!
    We are VERY, VERY SORRY for all of the
    hassle and difficulty this is causing our racers,
    we are devastated and frankly disgusted that our
    elected and officials would play this game
    of duplicity, bad faith and lies.
    Keep checking with the Speedworld website
    for information on further developments.

      Joe...they have to apply for a SPECIAL USE PERMIT for EVERY event the week before it's ran....then the county board has to vote and approve the permit.....This I'm sure is the begining of the end of Speedworld.... R.I.P. .....Dan is going to move the facilities supposedly...but there is no room for a drag strip....we are losing them at an alarming rate...my grandkids local track maybe be 420 miles away someday.....SAD.

        Bad Deal, for sure...That special use permit is a strangle hold. Hope they can make it work.

          Damnit! That sucks, With Firebird and Speedworld out....geeze what a mess.


          The upside for us in Tucson is that maybe SIR will start to so more events and an influx of racers. Hopefully that will keep them up and running for a while.
