Re: [azhorseracing] Problems at Rillito

Well if it's dangerous, they'd probably have to raze it due to insurance
concerns anyway. I know the old harness track in Phoenix is still sort of
standing, but it's way out in the boonies.

Dang! I never got down there! I better hurry if I want to see some history!

The harness track looks like it could be pretty cool with some cleanup, except I
think I-10 kinda cuts off where the Far Turn should be. I thought someone told
me the reason it didn't open was because it has a bunch of Asbestos and the cost
of removing it was way too high, so the whole project was abandoned. No one
wants to spend the money bringing down the grandstand because of the HazMat
costs, so it stands where it is. Wish it could be restored. I think it would
be cool to have another little track but that's still a problem for the folks
down in Tucson.
