Incase you guys have not heard. Maricopa County is wanting to shut speedworld down (they hold the NHRDA Opener every year). here is the story:

http://www.azcentral.com/news/artic...eedworld-must-close-maricopa-county-says.html

Speedworld sent out a nice little letter letting everyone know they WILL NOT be shutting down. Dont know how the outcome will be but there is a petition we are all signing to keep the track open. Not good when Firebird raceway is closing down jan 1st 2013 to be torn down and supposably a new raceway will be build further south.

Please pass this on to all you know to keep our track open and the NHRDA Season Opener track here in AZ!!!

here is the petition

I recieved 2 emails yesterday saying that Speedworld would not be closing and to not believe the rumors.

It appears that the county did not want to work with them on a few unimportant issues. However, they will remain open while the issues get sorted out. I can forward the emails to anyone that wishes to read them.
