and stars of yesteryear,” commented Stroud.He went on to say “The exhibits are dedicated to preserving,
interpreting, and displaying items significant to open wheel racing and
motorsports history in the state of Arizona.”

making the general public welcome.The
accompanying Racers Advantage Store, a racers safety equipment superstore, is

Am I reading this right?
The new ARIZONA
MOTORSPORTS HALL OF FAME and Open Wheel Exhibit will be closed on this Friday
and Saturday race days?
Out of
state fans will have to wait until next year to see
it?
Some of
us old goats (Capra aegagrus
hircus) might not make it that long...
lol

I get that.
But I'm disappointed that the museum will not be
open during one of the few Big Races left in AZ.
Not much choice, come two days before the race or
wait 4 days after the race to see it.

Well you can hope Greg, but I'm afraid in this case hope just might not be enough.

Maybe you had better hook up him him so he can follow you over Randy, we don't want him to end up in New Mexico.

I spoke w/Steve Stroud tonight and he said that the store WILL BE open on Friday and Saturday. I believe he said the hours would be on Friday 12-4 and on Saturday from 9-1. I'm not 100% on the hours and I'm waiting for confirmation on the exact hours but I wanted everyone to know that you can go see the awesome display of racing memorabilia that Steve Stroud has collected. I was there tonight for the opening and the only word that comes to mind is AWESOME!!! It's a must see for any race fan, if you ask me. As soon as I get confirmation of the exact hours I will post them for everyone.
Cya @ Canyon on Saturday.
RIP Chet and Mark. You might be gone but never will
be forgotten.
