Now that the Phoenix complex will be closing?

Things are not looking good for us west coast racers for sure. And I am in the middle of building a new car for .90 stuff.....ugh..I do recall LVMS having alot of races last time we had issues with Wildhorse and Fontana, but with Bakersfield finally giving a divisional a shot and maybe Sonoma could come back but who knows...

Plenty of sun shine and no where to play. The Bakersfield double header is a game changer for division 7 as far as the divisional chase. I hope it is a great success. There was talk about a Dragstrip being built in Price, Utah. I think it fell through. Tucson is a long haul for most and it never got enough cars to keep it going. I'm sure someone here knows why Sonoma isn't running divisional races. I have no clue. Scheduling Fallon in June never works. This weekend's high of 98 with 25mph winds. The highlight would be arguing with a rattle snake. hydrate!! I like a challenge but a bit much from the fun factor.

What’s going to happen has already happened.
We got Bakersfield thank god! If not then the close race is Vegas (10-11 hours) for the Central/ Bay Area / Valley guys. Not to mention Division 6 guys..That’s quite the commute! Have ya driven speed bump I 5 lately?
My car will be done for Sonoma but do I want to support it given the hand we were dealt?
Probably not. My choice. I’m sure it will not make any difference.
Nothing said about 2023 div races yet .
Lost Wild Horse.
Lost Fontana.
Lost Sonoma this year. Next year??
No Sac divisional’s?
No Redding divisional’s? Huge improvements there. Is it big enough?

Raceless in California.

I think what is going in Redding is really a great thing, they have put a lot work into making it a great place to race.

I spoke with Jesse Adams today. They just purchased a new track prep tool ( row of slicks reversed on a new tractor ) from Bandimere.

I'm hoping and praying that something will change and that it'll be able to stay alive....I've seen the area they're wanting the overpass to expand (Queen Creek Road), and it chaps my hide that south of that road is a bunch of open space that could easilly be used instead of messing up the facility for their lousy ramp expansion! I've been told that the proposed ramp could be built without needing to shut down the strip, and from what I saw, if they closed anything it should only be the off-road facility!

Moreover, I hope Tucson will recover from their scheduling miscue from last fall, and get back on board for us Arizona class racers sake?

Glad I have my Colorado even more so now, as Bandimere's is where I'm heading next week for my next two races, and next year, I may have to start traveling up to D6 tracks for one-two of their races? Hopefully Matt and Brad Hawk will be able to get something together for the Arizona Stock/Super Stock Association in October possibly the weekend prior to the Vegas Fall Nationals?
