Default End of an era, goodbye Firebird Raceway

The Friday night drags at Wildhorse Pass (Formerly Firebird) race park tonight will be the last event held at this track. The last NHRA event was in February, so tonight is the last hurrah. Anyone planning on checking it out? I'm feeling sentimental for sure but it's supposed to be 106 when the track goes live at 7pm so not sure if I will make it. Sucks for sure, can't count how many good times I've had on and around those tracks.

June 30th, 2023 was set to be the end of a 40-year run of events at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park, formerly Firebird International Raceway, but record breaking attendance and unrelenting support for the facility from the motorsports community has led to an opportunity for the venue to continue operations for years to come! We are proud to announce that with support from the Wild Horse Pass Development Authority and the Gila River Indian Community, the Motorsports Park has, quite literally, a new lease on life. We look forward to bringing back our usual diverse schedule of events including the NHRA Arizona Nationals, Travis Pastrana’s NitroCross Series, Off Road Racing, Sports Car racing, Car Shows, Drifting, Team Bracket Racing, concerts, festivals, and more.
We thank the Radford Racing School and their group of individuals who stepped up to the plate and continued operations of the facility from July 1st-December 31st of this year while the track and Wild Horse Pass Development Authority management groups restructured. The track will continue to work with the Radford Racing School to host their Dodge Demon Drag Racing and other instructional-based racing classes within the many different tracks and configurations that the facility has to offer, but will take over operational control of the venue beginning January 1st, 2024 with a new management team employed by the Wild Horse Pass Development Authority.
The restructured management team, led by Track Manager Casey Buckman and Track Business Administrator Connie Bopp, has over 50 years of Motorsports Industry experience and is continuing to add additional personnel as part of the relaunch of this storied facility. Stay tuned for more information and the 2024 event schedule to be released soon, as well as a HUGE announcement to be made at the Performance Racing Industry Show in Indianapolis on Thursday December 7th @12pm est.
Looking forward to their announcement at PRI this week.
