History
The dragway was created in around 2000, to help stop the problem of street racing. For example, in January 2021, Tucson Police had arrested 48 people for an illegal street racing incident.[2]
COVID-19 effects
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the dragway was forced to close in March 2020. However, in February 2021, the dragway was allowed to host events but with a limited capacity. It fully re-opened in May, with safety standards.[3]
