Hello all,



Dezod Motorsports and Dezod West have been talking about renting Firebird International Raceway (in Phnx AZ) off and on in different forums. Many had kind things to say and sounded like they wanted an event such as this; so we started churning some numbers, making phone calls, and seeing what we could do. The event would be at Firebird Raceway, on May 24th in Phoenix Arizona. This date is tentative and not set in stone unless we pay a deposit required by management of the track.

As many of you know, Dezod is BIG into Honda and Scion. I think naturally this would make for some good competition. The race is open to ALL CARS. (providing they pass inspection) We would be breaking down the racing into different groups, so do not worry or feel intimidated if you are still learning the ropes.

The track is Firebird West, which is a 1.1 mile road race circuit. We will also have a large lot for a full car show going on as well. Some vendors would be there, some possible sport compact celebrities, as well as music and food.

The course looks like this:




There will be classes based on engine, and possibly drivetrain, depending on the amount of cars we get. An example would be 4cyl Front wheel drive, naturally aspirated, and 4 cyl front wheel drive, with forced induction etc


This is NOT intended for wheel to wheel racing, so do not worry about crashing into anyone, or anyone crashing into you. This is a time attack event. The car show will be divided into multiple classes as well, which will be determined by the interest we receive, and how many cars enter.


The event is going to be fairly large, one of the largest physical Scion/Honda events in the country. Other car types will be there as well, including Cobalts and some other domestics. I think it will be a great way to meet other enthusiasts, and for owners to see what Dezod cars do on and off the race track.

Joe and I will be helping in tuning, giving driving tips, answering questions, and racing some company cars.


The following prices below are preliminary and may change, but this is an idea...



Racer admission (includes 1 spectator ticket) - $65

Show Admission (includes 1 spectator ticket) - $25

Spectator (12 and under are Free) - $10



PLEASE let us know on this thread if you are serious about coming, and suggest anything you'd like. We want this to be a national event and I think we can make it a lot of fun. The 24th is a Saturday, and the following Monday would be a holiday so please keep that in mind. If we have enough interest, Joe and I will generate a pre-order section where you can fill out an app and register your car for race or show. Let me know if you have any other questions!



UPDATE 1: You CAN enter both Race and Show. It will not be the full price of combining both admissions. We will offer a discount for both, though the exact number is not set in stone yet.

I wish I had that kind of time to take off from work. If I took that kind of time off it would be to see my family in Florida, and I would fly lol.

We're not trying to make anyone pay more, but I want you all to register sooner. It will make for a better experience for everyone! Spread the word on all the forums you know about.
