Are there any updates on the status of Speedworld or is it gone for good ?
Too bad....that's what happens when Government has no regard for the people.
state of Arizona owns the land that the track sit on....
yes..he did...you would think that the state and county would work to get the place opened up..cause they can not make any money with it closed....
but govt never wants to do the right thing..
done, at least firebird will still run....planning on going for Nostalgia drags either Saturday night or Sunday (depending on how friggin hot it is by then) May 4th and 5th.
Uh, do you know what the owner has done?? Million dollar lawsuits, several mechanics leans on the property for unpaid bills in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Not living within the land use permits, etc.
The land was leased, now it's tied up in leans. How were they supposed to react?
I thought firebird was on the way out too...their lease wasnt being renewed by the tribe that owns the land...
Somewhat new to the area and was only going on what I was told by a former track worker.Seems you have knowledge of the other side of the story(which there always is) and made me realize I need more information before I make a statement.I would rather be corrected than be wrong.Thanks for the info.ops:
Hope something happens out there. I really liked that track, it had that Mom & Pop feeling that Firebird is/was lacking. I liked Island Dragway when I lived in NJ for the same reason. Used to help a neighbor. He would avoid Englishtown at all costs......
