I wish the racing community here in Arizona really knew why it is closing down. Around March 12th news broke that Mel Martin sold Manzy to a crane company that no longer wants to operate Manzy as a race track. Rumor has it that Mel's son Bobby Martin a partner in the ownership of the track since August 2007 wasn't even aware his dad was selling the track. The Martin's bought the track for between $2.5 & $3.5 million in 2007, invested another million in improvements and have sold it for $10 to $20 million according to the newspaper article that ran in the Arizona Republic. If you look back in past threads around the March 12th date there is a thread entitled "Bad news from out west", it has 90 some post about Manzy closing.
