[QUOTE=Wharf Rat;91125]Firebird might not be done. They just haven't renewed the lease for the previous management (which some will argue that is a good thing). Bondurant has the West track locked up and Lucas has the boats and off-road track lease. The fate of the dragstrip and east track are unknown. Still could be a good thing if someone new comes in and puts some money into the facility.
Also the Gila Indians are discussing taking FireBird over... I heard that somewhere...

I have also heard about Lucas Oil discussing taking over Firebird. But at the time of the interview they said they don't think they would be interested in taking over Firebird.
I wonder what, if any, improvements would be made if the Gila Indians did end up taking over Firebird and keeping it running.
