Hey Chris, yeah there seems to be a lot of activity on new tracks - kind of bucks the trend of our current economy huh? I think the private track concept is fine - if that's what it takes to get tracks built so be it... the rest of us can enjoy them for the years it takes to create full membership... also, Chuckwalla and some of the other private courses are planning a series of projects... Chuckwalla for example is planning two other world class road courses next to this one so it is going to be a while before they start shutting down the facility to outsiders... in fact right now they are working hard to recruit clubs to hold more events there... NASA-Arizona is going in a few months... Arizona is definitely a good place to be if you like spending time at the race track... here's the run down:
- Local... Phoenix Intl Raceway 1.6 mi roadcourse
- Local... Firebird Intl Racway... 4 roadcourses that can be combined
- Local... Arizona Motorsports Park AMP (RE-OPENED AFTER SEVERAL YEARS)
- 1 hour south... Inde Motorsports Ranch (NEW)
- 2.5 hours west... Chuckwalla (NEW)
- 5 hours southeast... Demming NM
- 5.5 hours north... Spring Mountain (NEW-ISH)
- 5.5 hours north... LV Motor Speedway
- 6-12 hours... Socal tracks
