Number of F1 drivers - 20 Number of karters - 100,000+ Entries are one thing, popularity with a viewing audience is very much another. This distinction needs to be made.

I’ll just leave this here People are getting tired of being nickled and dimed by the local promoter thats “barely making it” and sitting at the track all day long for 16-22 laps (If you race two classes) 25 bucks per head through the gate just to even watch the race to see if maybe you’d like to get into it one day isn’t helping either... I love moto and always will but what the hell?? 190 bucks for one weekend of racing is a little insane I remember a time when the shops were putting on races FOR...

Come to Tucson, AZ and skip the southeast humidity. https://www.vitalmx.com/features/PING,7213 about 2nd or 3rd letter down Pima Motorsports Park is owned by Pima County and sits on county land adjacent to the county fairgrounds and various other county owned facilities, such as race car tracks and a shooting range. The track, buildings, well, etc are pre-existing and the county awards a lease to an operator. As I understand it, the operator keeps whatever profit he turns above cost of lease. The track is currently without a lease holder and has been sitting idle for about a year. You'd need to...

So do you think all tracks are in the red ? If thats the case there would be no place to ride. You know people told me when I started my current business I wouldn't make any money well here I am a guy looking to buy a non income producing track with money from another non income producing business all so people on this forum and my son can continue to enjoy a sport that I have done my whole life. Thank God we are not relying on you to keep this sport going .

DB, I'll answer both posts. PMP-Tucson: Still no movement. Track sits idle. I believe if a serious operator approached the county with a lease proposal that would get things going. Nomads SV: Yes, we still have the club and the track. Send me a PM and we can talk details.

Good to hear GH is staying open, it is hypocritical to have stores and in person learning in schools open, and close a track where no rider gets close to any other rider. Golf courses are still open, and those guys get closer than MX riders do to each other...

There’s a special place in hell for locals who shut down tracks to build more house, or move in near a track and complain about noise. Those people deserve the worst and I hope it comes full circle.

No surprise to me one bit. My neighbors just put their 3 bedroom, 1 bath 1968 rambler on the market last weekend. Asked $340k (which is still too much). Bidding war insued. House was sold by Sunday for $520k - cash up front. Its nuts man. Feel bad for your sis, its a super-tough market out there now Tracks cant compete with developers and the politicians alike. They are hand in hand and in each others pockets if ya know what I mean. Its like lining up a PeeWee racer vs. Stewart and seeing who wins. Though the noise, dust...

So you think. My friend said back in Pomona ca. There was a long time bmx track nearby some houses. Compared to a mx track it was quite. The loudest thing was the starting gate crashing. The PA was turned down you could barely hear it and the occasional metal clang from bike crashes cheers from the crowd. Guess what they still got noise complaints from the nearby houses. Electric bikes are definitely louder than a bmx bikes. Even at the track I could hear the alta this guy was riding when it was on the gas even with all...

The one track was in now prime real estate. A developer talked a big game. The town or state saw $$$$ suddenly the track is noisy and doesn't fit their vision. Aka they were bought off.

Old thread but I'd like to chime in. I'm sure you know that ET Motopark / AZ Speedway will be closed for good now by November '21. Apparently some housing manufacturers bought land in San Tan area and immediately got together and wrote up some bogus BS about 'noise' forcing the owners to close the dirt track (a long with...

It's the US govt that has killed small trucks with regulations. There's something called the CAFE target curve for light trucks (F150's are considered light trucks). It uses the wheelbase multiplied by the vehicle's track to find the fuel economy needed. However, it's not a straight line, and truly small trucks would need to get very similar numbers as small cars. With the aerodynamic and weight advantages of a car it's almost impossible to achieve these kinds of results with a truck. Like so many other parts of our lives, the over-reaching US govt has screwed this part up too.

Ok, here's my garage build. I started with a basic concrete floor 24x36 insulated pole barn, with 1 10' door, but essentially 2 vehicle bays. I wanted to keep the door side open for my personal truck, and use the other side for bikes. When I started, here is how the bike side looked I added peg board, OSB, some strategic outlets, led lights and switches. Next, I got a stainless steel worktop from a restaurant that closed, and wired outlets into the splash guard of the bench. I also picked up 2 filing cabinets on the...
