The circuit made the usual right off of Jefferson at 1st Street. Because of the arena construction, the cars went two blocks before making a left onto Jackson Street. Another two block straight led to another left on 3rd Street, which then only proceeded for a block before a right, taking them east on Madison. But then the course got interesting. At this part the cars were back on the gently curved section of Jefferson that they had used for the previous circuit, only now they were headed west, not east.
This section also ran directly adjacent to the eastbound section on Madison, with barely enough room to walk between the barriers. As this led onto the slightly shorter back straight, with entry speed critical, this final new corner caught out several drivers over the weekend.
The remainder of the circuit was the same as before, but the drivers felt that the layout had been greatly improved. If not for the bumpy surface, some of them thought they could get to like the Phoenix track.
Alas, the handwriting was already on the wall for the event. Advance sales were so poor that the organizers cancelled the construction of the covered stand across from the pits, as a cost-cutting move. The race was quietly dropped from the calendar.
Today, there are no signs remaining of the circuit at all. The only actual construction for the circuit, the pit and race central buildings, were used for several years for auto repair shops and office space, before being demolished to make way for a new federal office building, courthouse and jail. The semicircular Turn 13, which ran through a vacant lot, is now the location of a hip hop recording studio and production company. The diagonal straight used only in is now a live theater and a Hard Rock Cafe.
The interesting hairpin corner before that point was covered by a 50, seat baseball stadium. Light rail transit lines have narrowed both Jefferson and Washington streets. Even the infamous fast food restaurant frequented by some of the team mechanics at the inside of Washington and Third Avenue is now an office tower. Any traces of the track anywhere in downtown have long since been scrubbed away by a new and revitalized downtown Phoenix.

Untreated asphalt has a reflectivity of only 12 percent. While we continue to study the initial cool pavement installations, we will soon begin a second phase of testing using a darker material that has been engineered to have an even higher surface reflectivity.
Additionally, a vehicle equipped with air and surface temperature sensors traveled over the treated areas to gather data during four times of the day.
