Anybody ever raced there or know anything about this track? It's located in AZ, between Whitman and Phoenix just off of rte 60. I'm pretty sure it is a NHRA track. Went by it on vacation a few weeks ago, but they were closed. How's the track, pits, general operation, etc. Thanks for any input.

I know about Firebird, but where is the third track ( SIR ?) Kevin? Thanks for the web sight! We presently live in the Chicago area, but may be moving to Prescott / Pason in a year or so. Sounds like I may have to do a little rejetting, depending on what track I go to?

Bernie Longjohn runs it now..He came from LACR after it closed. He's a good guy. Yes it is old and needs improvement, but the track is always better than Firebird. That place is like a skating rink unless there is a big event. I like Speedworld. Chris..

I like Speedworld.
We ran there 3 weeks ago at the WCHRA event. The track was dicey at best but we generally like racing there. Like was said-the food is really good for a drag strip.

Thanks for the input all! Hope to run there in the future. Raced at my local track for 45 years! First pass in 64. It's a Mom & Pop track also - Clean, good track prep, no booze, paved pitts, well policed. I'm gonna miss it when we move. Sounds like Firebird has gone the way of many big time NHRA tracks ( we have one of those in our area also ) - not very user friendly.
