Bad News from out West
 
ABC Motorsports.com has posted thet The Martins have sold Manzi to a trucking company and it will close April 1st. What will now happen to the Westerns-Copper on Dirt? A very sad day for open wheel racing and the history of such a awesome race track.

i am in complete shock. Just got off the phone with the track and they said the new owners have no interest in racing, or in keeping it a race track. I have spent my intire life at manzy and never thought i would see the day this would happen. Guess the only thing left now is to move to indy.haha
