The Arizona Speed Plex Facility is a unique automobile and motorcycle racing facility combining clay track and asphalt track events on separate race surfaces adjoined by common concession, event and retail shopping facilities. The venue will be capable of hosting over 280 event days annually, drawing an estimated number of fans and spectators in excess of 1.2 million from throughout the United States.
The design and building of the Arizona Speed Plex will be to the highest standards of the 21st century incorporating "green" environmental concepts, noise attenuation, and very aggressive dust controls systems. Driver and spectator safety features will be given the highest priorities. The Arizona Speed Plex will attract nationally known racing drivers, international manufacturer's teams and millions of spectators who will test, train, compete and enjoy the thrilling spectacle of motorsports in a unique, modern "cutting edge" racing venue.

), but that will never happen. Sounds like a nice facility, but I wonder who's gonna pony up the cash to build it all? Also, I had a laugh at the "Lighting will be focused and directed to areas necessary for safe operations and will minimize light pollution impacts," as if you can't see Phoenix from 100 miles away already. :rofl:
