Firebird will close after this weekend and may reopen in 2014,This is what NHRA said last week at the national event.
Sorry that Speedworld closed for good. I liked that track.
Greg you are too young to remember but Pittsburgh International Dragway closed in 1975 for a housing development project.It never happened. Mothernature took it over but you can still see parts of the track through the trees and weeds overgrowth.

thats what ive been hearing to... i'll have to call some of my locals and see... sucks because MadMax is sending me 4.56's for the dart to see how it likes those over the 4.88's.

Always sad to lose a track, especially to developers.

We lost US 30 30 years ago because they built houses across the street and the people who bought them bitched.

Thanks for the tip 300, Let's hope it's won't end up like the Speedworld fight.

Romeo,Firebird & Speedworld were 2 different deals.My home track Speedworld had permit issues etc. with the county & state.Firebird was gonna close to clean house of management AKA, not renewing the current managements lease of the track.Rumors were allover of what was going down over there, hopefully they can step up and make things work.

Aha, Close to clean house. Got it!
