Default Re: Speed World Arizona - Going, going gone...

To be fair to Dan Matthews, it looks like the Speed World drag strip probably would have gone out of business when the last track operator left. So maybe Dan prolonged the inevitable. But then again, a good operator could have turned it around. Guess we will never know!
Personally, I like the operating style of Al Corda (who is an Arizona snow bird if you don't know). His track is closed a lot of the year. Yes it snows there. But when it's open, the racers come in the hundreds. I always felt that Speed World was open TOO MUCH. Too much overhead for a few through the gate.
