Arizona Motorsports Park
Last year
the Arizona Motorsports Park invested over $6 million to develop a safe place to
run cars and provide high performance driver education, right next to Luke Air
Force Base.
It is a privately owned and financed track that is not open to the general
public. Instead, only car clubs, classic car owners, motorcycle clubs,
automobile companies and other car enthusiasts - people just like yourself
- rent it for private use.
The Arizona Motorsports Park is a world-class facility that’s turned into a
great addition for the West Valley. No more homes near Luke Air Force
Base. And, people are coming from all over the West Valley and Arizona to
use the facility, which means more spending at local stores, hotels and
restaurants.
But some residents living over one mile from the site are now trying to shut us
down because they can hear noise some days of the week. They have hired
high-powered lawyers and are even asking for our permit to be revoked. In
fact, Maricopa County has scheduled a hearing to consider doing just this on
July 31st.
Let us first say this: we can address these issues. But we’re
going to need your help too. So far, elected officials have only heard
from these residents and lawyers.
They need to hear from you too. Soon. The hearing is only days away.
They need to hear that the Arizona Motorsports Park is important to you .. . and
that they should support the facility.
Please take just a moment to email Maricopa County Supervisor Max Wilson today.
Leave a message that you support the Arizona Motorsports Park. With your
email we can make sure that you and our many users have the chance to enjoy this
excellent addition to the West Valley for many years to come.

Hello,
The enclosed
attachment will explain the reason for the Special Use Permit review.
Please read it
and you will be more clear on the issue at hand.
The main
reasons of violation of SUP:
The Staff is
of the opinion that the applicant misrepresented the proposed facility to the
Board of Supervisors(back in Dec 2001) and that this resulted in a SUP approval
with inadequate stipulations to protect the public health and welfare (By
stating there would be no more than 200 people this is an Environmental issue).
The facility attracts numbers of persons to warrant a public water system. The
facility should be limited to vehicles deemed "street legal" (as the
applicant's representative said there would be only "street legal"
vehicles driven on the track) and should initiate noise mitigation techniquest
in order to improve noise levels and qualities that are deemed incompatible with
residential development in proximity to the site.
Thank you,
