Scottsdale Arizona

Been here in Phoenix since 80's and speaking as a former central new yorker I can say....you WILL love the winters! Like to wear shorts? perfect, you can wear them nearly year round! I only wear long pants when requested by spouse :mrgreen:
The summers can be nasty if your not careful. Be sure to drink excessive amounts of water! We had over 30 days of 110* or higher last summer. It was a record, normal is closer to 20 days. Not a lot of humidity as we only get 6"-7" of rain annually. Right now we are in the middle of Monsoon (July-August-ish) so some afternoon/evening storms pop-up.
Speedworld dragstrip is out NW in Surprise area, its an old facility and lots of clubs use it.
Firebird dragstrip is on the south end of the valley, near Chandler. National events as well as local stuff.
October thru May are "peak" car related event times but there are some that run year round.
You wont see a lot of rusty cars here, but you will see what the intense heat does to interiors and plastic in general!
Come on down :cheers:
