Fun Facts About Eloy

Eloy isn’t a relatively new city when we look at Arizona, it has however seen a huge growth spurt within the last two decades. Most of the area surrounding the Central Phoenix area has been farmland for a very long time, but that’s starting to change. Let’s talk about Eloy, one of the new up and coming cities in Arizona that Phoenix Title Loans has recently expanded into!

Eloy Race Track

A forgotten part of Eloy’s large past is that it was home to a giant street racetrack. By the end of the 1970s, street race tracks had mostly become a thing of the past as cities weren’t wiling to sponsor them and were also a bit afraid of the dangers of having lightning fast vehicles whip around their buildings. Eloy was one of the last street tracks to actually still exist during this time, with a sprawling .7 mile track. The Arizona Sport Racing Association were the ones able to talk Eloy into it, and even by 1984 were able to turn it into a two-hour telecast bringing attention to the new up and coming city. It actually only had 6,500 people during this time! A tiny, tiny fraction of the 16,000+ it has today. The track actually had a bunch of 90 degree turns meaning it couldn’t really exceed speeds of around 70 miles per hour, but given the distance it probably really didn’t have to.
