Re: Phoenix Members (AZslowcivicEX)
I was just wondering if there were places that everyone meets.
Firebird Raceway: Gates open at 6:00 pm on Friday night drag nights. Tech usually starts at 6:30 and racing starts at 7:00. Racing continues until midnight, then the track is closed. The far right lanes are for slicks and VIP cars. Cost is $15 to race and $10 to watch, they do have a snack stand and BBQ. The track is also open once per month on Saturdays at the normal time. Every Thursday night is Sport Compact Only Night.
Speedworld Motorplex: Speedworld runs on Saturday mornings and Wednesday nights. Although depending in the season they also run on Friday nights instead of Saturday mornings. Saturday they open the gates at 9:00 and racing goes until 4:00 pm. Wed. the gates open at 4:00 and racing ends at 9:30, you can get in many, many runs on Wed. Cost is $15 to race and $10 to watch, there is a snack bar and grill.
Scottsdale Pavillions Car Show: The Pavilions car show is held at the Scottsdale Pavillions shopping center at Indian Bend Rd and Loop 101. You can't miss it, right next to McDonald's. There are lots of cool hotrods out there. People start showing up at 3-5pm depending on the season and everyone is usually cleared out by 10:00 pm.
Gilbert Hot Rod Show: Friday nights at Cooper and Warner there is a car show from 5:30 til 9:00pm in the parking lot on the northeast corner. It is 100% domestic cars and the organizer of the show is a great guy. There is usually an ice cream stand and sometimes they have an old band playing.
Gilbert Car Show on Saturdays, "Fast and the Furious": Saturday nights around 8:30pm cars start to gather at Cooper and Warner only on Saturdays it is mostly importsf. By about 10:00pm the lot will be overfilling with all kinds of stuff: sport trucks, riced out civics, lifted 4x4's lowriders, and a few Mustangs and LS1's. It is really a sight to behold, everyone should see it once.
ASU Lot 59, cars gather in ASU's lot 59 which is on the corner of Rio Salado and Rural. Sometimes there are some grudge races on the 202. Cops shut it down a while back, but keep your eyes open....
Illegal Drags: I wouldn't know anything about this ;-) But I hear that they have been meeting at the Sperry or Sonic Burger at the corner of 19th Ave. and Deer Valley for about 30 years now. From there you will find where the drag racing spot is. Meeting starts at 11:00 til midnight.

Re: Phoenix Members (BlackDeuceCoupe)
Thanks for the lowdown. Especially about the illegals. I moved out to Phoenix in 98 and heard about Deer Valley Rd but no one ever knew where exactly. I don't have a fast car but my sh*t talking friends think they do and they'd be the types to race out there, and probably get beat. I live in central Phoenix, like a block away from Versus motorsports' new location. I'm married w/2 kids so I don't have the funds to hook up my civic but I always help my friends with their POS neons and corollas.

Re: Phoenix Members (TheRedSkoolingBus)
It would be cool if all the AZ members could meet up at pavillions or cooper/warner sometime. I have been to both and there are not a lot of imports at pavillions and when i went to cooper/warner, i saw some nice cars but then a lot of rice too.

Re: Phoenix Members (jcamacho)
don't waste your time trying to find the illegals. it's a ******* waste of gas and time. all you literally do is run from cops...in big groups. you find a location, one or two races, and the cops bust them up. go to the next location and the cops are already there. you run more. gay.
warner and cooper is mostly rice. nothing you honda-techies would admire there. only cool thing there if you ask me is the minitruckers and the custom (adj. ride heigth) imports. gotta give love to the switches
