Greetings, My name is Gary Hansen, an NHRA racer. We live in the Phoenix Metro area.
I just read that you purchased the track in Tucson.....I think that is great news.

The purpose of my email is to inform you of the Speedworld dragstrip that recently closed in the Phoenix area. Since we live only a few miles from Speedworld, I was obviously disappointed to see it close. It appears to me that their are some political issues that couldn't get worked out, and the prior operator got into a pizzing contest with the county. (that never works out).....I contacted the country in hopes of keeping the track open....The response I got was that it had gone to far and their was no turning back with the current operator.

You now have the Tucson track, and El Paso (290 miles from Tucson)....If......just if, you could acquire the Speedworld track, that would give you access to over 6 million people. Additionally, many of the Southern California racers are only a few hours away.

Best of good fortune with IHRA and the Tucson track.....and maybe you would consider looking into the Speedworld facility.

Sincerely,



Gary Hansen
