Alright then, I'll say 1952 and a mile and a half 
Arizona! The new thread

WOW - you two knew there was a Manzanita Speedway!
Let's wait until Sunny has something to say.
She is being very quiet lately. Must be something in Texas that is taking up her time. I wonder if she has saddled up with one of those cowboys down there?

A friend of a friend built sprint-cars. I feel like I have watched a race at Manzanita, but I can't remember the circumstances or when it would be. It is possible I have just seen enough footage here and there to "remember" being there. It was a small track, not much bigger than a high-school track and field track. I'd be surprised if it was over 1/2 a mile. Definitely around since the fifties.
I couldn't tell you where it was. I used to get everywhere in the most obscure corners of The Valley for work and I know I passed it and was surprised to see it looking abandoned. Sometime in the past 10 years.

Thanks for the offer Dave, I'll manage to stumble around on my own. I have met some very nice men out here but just not the right one for me..

That's the spirit, Bunny. I don't much care to visit Texas, or get on a horse anyway.

I understand Hum, I didn't either until work relocated here.
Of course. Grow where you are planted.
Ok Hum, here goes, but I did cheat as I used a search engine. Do I get any points?
Dave.
The territory was officially declared on August 1, 1861, following the Confederate victory at the Battle of Mesilla. Confederate hold in the area was soon broken, however, after the Battle of Glorieta Pass, the defining battle of the New Mexico Campaign. In July 1862, the government of the Confederate Territory of Arizona relocated to El Paso, Texas, then withdrew with the approach of Union troops to eastern Texas where it remained for the duration of the war. The territory continued to be represented in the Confederate Congress and Confederate troops continued to fight under the Arizona banner until the war's end.

^^^Gosh, learn something new every day. I know the date of statehood but didn't know the date of being declared a territory.
Meanwhile, are you all ready for the invasion of Super Bowl fans??
We've got a constant buzz of circling blimps and helicopters out here on the west side, it's kind of annoying.

Depends on what you're looking for, there are a bunch of Super Bowl related events around the stadium and also downtown, the golf tournament in Scottsdale, the chocolate fair in Glendale... The usual bar hopping on Mill Ave in Tempe at night.
Super Bowl

Well Dave, I don't know if I can fairly award you points because you admit that you had to look up your answer. But I'm glad you did. You see, you are correct that Arizona was aligned with the Confederacy (thanks to Texas). But in asking my question, I forgot that New Mexico, as we know it today, was a part of the Arizona Territory before it was split off into it's own territory and eventually, statehood. So, I was not aware of the Battle of Glorieta Pass as technically taking place in the Territory of Arizona.
However, there was another skirmish, the Battle of Picacho Peak, which occurred on April 15, 1862. What a lovely time of year for a Civil War reenactment. Picacho Peak is located just off I-10 about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. Although the combatting forces were small, 13 Union troops versus 10 Confederates, the Confederates claimed victory when the Union troops withdrew. Though barely a battle, it was the Westernmost battle of the Civil War.
This was the bonus answer I was looking for, but I was not specific in saying the Territory or State of Arizona.
