Thanks everyone for your responses, maybe my fears are unwarranted. I had no idea so many dirt tracks have been built in the last three years. As a pavement girl all of the race tracks we ran had been around forever. I never gave as much thought to dirt issues as I have since moving to Arizona. Every brand new housing development has huge signs with numbers to call for dust control, with the down turn in the economy there are many housing developments and new commercial projects that have been started and are sitting idle. The dirt has all ready been turned over an any time there is a wind storm the dust in the air is unbelievable. Manzy has brought alot of income to the Phoenix area over the past 58 years, I hope whatever area of the valley they try to relocate the track to takes that into consideration. Z-Man, I will have to try to take a look at the web site you posted later in the week. Thank you, I appreciate the information. Let's all keep are fingers crossed that there will be a new Manzy in our future. Keep the responses coming, they are helping to educate this novice dirt track racer. I call myself that because out of my 50 plus years in racing I have only called Manzy my home track for eight years, before that most of my racing experiences were on pavement.

Thanks again,

Patti
