First of all I wouldn't get involved with any race track venture unless the land is mine or I have a long, long term lease. I heard thats what killed Bee Line Dragway. I heard the property was on Indian Reservation and the track owners couldn't come to a lease agreement. Bee Line still sits there abandoned. Just think someone could have been making money all of those years it has been sitting.

A guy that runs a motocross track on Ironwood south of the US 60 in Apache Junction just put in a 3/8 dirt oval. This would be a great location for a new dragstrip. I was told the track is on state land not Indian Reservation property.

It was sad to see Manzanita Speedway close and now Firebird. Liked going to both tracks.
