"Wittmann, ARIZ. (April 20, 2013) – The reality that the Valley has lost a fixture that has been in existence in Arizona drag racing for more than 50 years has begin to set in for many. Generations of drag racers have grown up at Speedworld Dragstrip. Any future for a motorsports facility on the property managed by the Arizona State Land Department looks bleak as lost law suits from injuries sustained on the motocross have left a the state in a position that they do not want motorsports venues on state land. The reality of this position may be seen when the leases of other motorsports facilities on state land come up for renewal."

I think this says alot about the situation there. Sad to lose another track.
