When I was visiting Arizona my friend who lives in Mesa said he had heard that SpeedWorld in North Phoenix was closing, is this true? I heard the track was going around in circles with Mairocopa County on facilities issues and some under age drinking incidents but, I didn't think the situation was that bad. They just put in a 3/8 semi banked dirt oval about 3 years ago. What a waste if this is true.

Also, what is going on with Firebird? Rumor is the NHRA is talking with the Indians to keep it a NHRA sanctioned track. Any updates?
