Wow, unbelievable and complete shock are the exact words to describe how I feel.
It seems like at the end of the season for everyone of the eight years I have been going to Manzy the rumors would start to fly about there not being a race track there the next year. An every year my friends, longtime Manzy faithful competitors would assure me not to worry those rumors had been around for ever. They are just as shocked today as the rest of us, when I called to tell them they had no clue this was happending.
Leaders Edge & SC96 both of your post are right on.
This makes the fourth track I have ties to that are gone this year, Mansfield, Ohio and Jennerstown. Pa. pavement tracks and Manzy & Casa Grande, Az. dirt tracks. I said it before and I will say it again, get out there and support your favorite track as much as you can.
Seadog mentioned building a new track and not thinking it would happend. Actually in the paper this week they were talking about land being set aside in Goodyear for a race track and nothing having been done about building a track. The article was confusing, it didn't say where in Goodyear the land was or what kind of race track they were talking about building. Who knows maybe a new track could be in the future for the west side of Phoenix? Every thing seems to be coming to the west valley, way not a race track. Until that happends we are left with Canyon in the Phoenix area and Tucson, I believe there is also a dirt track some where in the Prescott area that I have never been to.
I will put an end to my shocking rant.
