hey so its cold again here in utah..
and i am a freaking pussy when it comes to the cold. I hate it. It puts me in bad moods, gets me depressed, and i lose motivation to do anything but sit in my house and do nothing.

However i do like snowboarding 7 or 8 times a season. But that is expensive, and i figure i could have just as much fun tracking my car in dec-feb. And i cant do that here cause tracks are closed, and there is so much damn salt on the ground i wouldnt want to anyway.

I probably will be getting a visit to phoenix going here shortly to see if a move would be possible..

Is there some good tracks out there?

Don't move to AZ. AZ sucks. It's lame, it's gay, and it sucks.
Then again, I went from super-awesome Socal to Phoenix... I guess Bumfuck Utah to Phoenix might not be such a big step down.

Do you plan on driving trains in AZ?

Anywho, tracks in the area... You got Firebird Raceway in Phoenix, and Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) in Avondale, which is 10-15 miles west of Phoenix. I lived about a mile from PIR, but never got to track my car because I couldn't find a job...

If you do move to AZ, make sure you secure a damn good job beforehand.

actually with the economy shit like it is, there are lots of us laid off by the UP.

its cool cause i have another job but it doesnt pay near what i was making there. Just projects slow down, and i had to sell some stuff..

But utah isnt really a shit hole at all till the winter time.. In the summer/fall/spring its actually really fun.

There's also Speed World up in Wittmann and SIR in Tucson. Not much else though for racing.

^Those are a long drive from the Phoenix area though.

Otherworldview · 10-16-2008, 11:28 AM

I lived up in Glendale at the time so Speed World wasn't too bad. Never went to SIR, but yeah, it is a long drive just to drag.

AZ has a decent amount of tracks all within no more than a hour really from phoenix, I live there now and FIR,PIR,SIR, hold events all the time. Speedworlds track is horrible for QT mile, buuut its another track.
