Rumor has it that the tribe is not renewing the land lease after 2013 so they can ad onto their casino or hotels. Those casino and hotels along a major interstate seem to be a license to print money.
There is also a rumor that Charlie Allen has purchased some lane in the SE Valley of the greater Phoenix area. Of course if it were to open in 2014 or so, I would think it would have met P&Z approval and the project should be shovel ready now.
Speedworld has been butting heads with the County over extended land use beyond their original agreement with the County and that has lead to grading & drainage issues of the MX track added to the troubles. I think this is one of those "you can't fight city hall" issues and the management of Speed World fought hard; probably too hard.
Finally getting my AMX back together and we're loosing two tracks in AZ.
