A local newspaper story stated there is a group of people that want to relocate the track to either Indian land near Firebird or land along 85 in Buckeye, a third location was never identified nor were the parties trying to relocate the track. The rumors I heard were Hollywood Leary the track promoter or manager was buying the name for basically nothing and relocating the track. Since this newspaper article ran I had a chance to question the Mayor of Buckeye, he had no idea Manzy had been sold or that anyone was interested in bringing the track to Buckeye. The Buckeye Fire Chief knows someone involved with the effort to try to relocate the track, although he never shared that persons name with me. He also knew all about the land in Buckeye on 85 it is all ready zoned for a race track, it is by the land fill owned by Phoenix which they are now trying to build a solar wind farm on with a prison across the road. Sounds to me like there would be no worrys of neighbors complaining in this area. So to anwser your question hopefully it wasn't wishful thinking and a new Manzy will be in the Phoenix areas future.
