Does this leave ANY dragstips in AZ? Whatever happened to the old Beeline track??
Wow.
Guess I better quit complaining about only having Sac and Sonoma within a couple of hours from home...
TIR is here in Tucson but I hear that is closing too as the county runs it and loosing money but who knows. Also thier schedule is limited and from what I hear the track is marginal.
Track isn't bad. Nice long shutdown. I don't know how well their prep is though. BeeLine Dragway has been gone since the late 70's. Tower is still there though and nothing has been built on the land. Only 70 miles from my house.
I used to frequent the "Midnight Drags" at Beeline all the time "back in the day". There were rumors of a "New Beeline" floating around a few years ago, but nothing ever came of it. The blueprints that I saw looked impressive. Unfortunately, blueprint paper is WAY cheaper than property, concrete, asphalt and insurance.
