PIR Road coarse never more

[Gordon Levy]

It was announced this week that with the major renovations happening at Phoenix International Raceway, there are no plans to put a road coarse back in. Last weekend was the last time anyone will run the road coarse. Really bummed, it was my favorite track in AZ. That will lease us with 3 tracks at Firebird, AMP and Inde down in Wilcox.

That sucks, I was hoping to play there this year.

We still have Firebird and it's 3 tracks and AMP but there is a noise limit of 92db. If you are up for it the night event in April is a lot of fun.

Gordon,

I will never forget the first time I met you was at that track and with Dick Smith. Great memories and look at what happened since! Those ghosts will be there for a long time. Bondo wants a Coupe again (now that GM is no longer an exclusive sponsor of the school) and so we'll have to lean heavier on Firebird. Bummer though. Thanks for the report.

I really bummed about it. I don't know what the track owners are thinking. they just got rid of 40% of their yearly income. Hard to believe that it's been 15 years since you and Mark came out to meet Dick and myself.

Chuck, if I ever find a job I'll come play also. Shame though about PIR. That was on by bucket list.

Gordon what is the April event your talking about?

[Gordon Levy]

No, the night event is at Firebird main on April 2. We are actually running both Firebird main and west track and will have the drift guys out. It is always a great event. I will be running around racing in the TT group and instructing and doing hyperdrive. You can get more info at nasaaz.com.
