Guam motorsports community secures home with budget bill signed into law
GUAM—In a significant victory for the Guam motorsports community, Guam Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero signed the 2025 Fiscal Year Budget Bill No. 236-37 (COR) into Public Law 37-125 last week, which includes an amendment introduced by Democrat Sen. Dwayne T.D. San Nicolas to secure a home for the Guam Motorsports Association in Yigo.
The amendment ensures the Chamorro Land Trust Commission negotiates a noncommercial lease with GMA for the property housing the raceway in Yigo and mandates that the negotiations for the lease on Lot 7161-R1 begin within 90 days of the law’s enactment.
“The Yigo raceway has been a longtime hub for our local motorsports community,” said San Nicolas, the sponsor of the amendment. “It has been the venue for our racing community, offering both a controlled environment and a place for families and fellow enthusiasts to gather and pursue their passions. I’m committed to restoring the raceway as a safe space for recreational activities and providing our motorsports enthusiasts with a place to call home.”
Public Law 37-125 requires the CLTC to lease a portion of the property to GMA, allowing the continued operation on Lot 7161-R1 in Yigo to host races as well as various related outdoor events and support facilities, all of which have been central to the island’s growing motorsports scene.
“The passage of this law guarantees that the raceway will continue to be a dedicated space for organized motorsports activities. I thank my legislative colleagues and Gov. Leon Guerrero for supporting this effort to keep our streets safe by providing a safe space for our racing community,” San Nicolas concluded. (PR)
