thats right outside Phx, isnt it?

 

Website says they aren't having classes and open runnings until 2004... I guess I'm gonna have to keep my HPDE'ing to Cali and Pac. Raceways until then.

 

I don't think the website is all that complete (they're so deep in HTML that they can't keep things updated). I have heard of events as early as jan/feb/march for SCCA regionals. No word on HPDEs and whatnot. KAMiN mentioned something to me about one in March? Don't know his source.

Should be a VERY, VERY nice facility.

 

i am going to be going by tomorrow on friday to see the track...

rj....this track is basically in phx...right next to luke airforce base

 

Us non-Phoenix types would like to see some pics!

 

time to pay my uncle in Phx a visit

 

Lots of long straights, followed by sharp turns. Hmm. In Phoenix heat, and on that track, your brakes should last, oh, what? 10 seconds?
Looks like fun. Nice carousel in 5,6,7....

 

looks like a brake killer. but I guess any track in Ariz would be!

 

i have a car i'll rent ya

 

what, the teal piece?

AND http://www.arizonamotorsportspark.com lists it under events and mar/april

its official, it opens in early march i cant WAIT to see it in person

 

Looks fairly nice. I wouldn't be worried about brake fade as much as all the dust that will be on track... Sometimes I miss Phoenix, then I think about the dust in the air, late summer, and Monsoon season there.... It would be cool if Houston had a road racing course, though Texas World Speedway isn't too far of a drive. It would be cool if Houston Raceway Park added a roadcourse - that would be awesome with a DragStrip, Dirt Oval, and road course all in one complex. But Phoenix having two road courses and Houston having 0, that sucks! Oh well, take some pictures and let us see this new Phoenix area Track with all it's glorious dirt

 

Yeah but the ones here are not even that great, from what i have seen.

 

I hope they will offer the full course for the HPDEs. All the tracks here in Phoenix are all in the 1.x mile range so a 2.25 mile track is definitely good news! I'm so there for the 1st track event no matter what though!

 

Looks like the guy who designed CMP designed this place too
It looks fun though

 

I was reading about this place a few months ago before my trip to AZ to see my father. He lives in Sun City Grand, which is basically next door to Luke AFB. I wanted to go on a drive and see the new facility, but couldn't find the time. It appears the Solo-II community is after some Pro and NT dates there.

 

Bad ***, I'm going to have to check that out next time i'm down in Phoenix.

 

i dont live in phx....in fact i'm 192 miles from phx.....sooo....i just decided to take a road trip up here to see some friends....

 

Blah, blah, blah. Less talk, more pictures...

 

i will have pics in an hour or so but forgot my cable to upload them to the puter....so they will have to wait till monday or tuesday

 

well....i went to find the track....i went all the way to the end of camelback rd....NO TRACK ANYWHERE!!! i was bitter.....60 miles of driving in the city to find this stupid track and it wasn't there....i found what i thought was going to be the track but it was all dirt!!!

 

Were you on Camelback or West Camelback...I believe there is a difference if I remember correctly...

 

15402 West Camelback Rd
Litchfield Park, AZ 85340

Mark - who still remembers the difference between Avenues/Places and Streets/Lanes.
