I lived in Tucson from 1963 until 1970.
My wife and I went to the NHRA race at Firebird last year. We drove to Tucson and up Mt. Lemmon as far as we could until finding it closed due to the fire when the Ponderosa Lodge burned.
Then, for old times' sake, I went to the site of the old Tucson Dragway. I spent many Saturdays at that track when we still lived there. It was sad to see it in its current condition.
