Sarge Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I-35 Kartway is now in Elm Mott, Tx. right next to Heart O' Texas Speedway. They had to move the track due to the I-35 expansion project. It is just south of HOT, infact, right next door on land that was once over-flow parking for HOT. Bill "Sarge" Masom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdad Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Northside speedway is still located at Greens Rd. and Lee Rd. It has been inactive for some years. This is an old Houston track that folded years ago. I drove that track back in the mid 50s. Nice track, shame it didn't survive.........................................

NickHolt Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Russ, There is only one short track asphalt oval in Texas that is currently in operation - Central Texas Speedway in Kyle, Texas. Of course, Texas Motor Speedway and the Circuit of the Americas are in operation as are a few road course venues including MSR Houston, Angelton, Texas, Texas World Speedway road course in College Station, Texas, Gransport Motorsports Park in Hitchcock, Texas (30 miles South of Houston) and Harris Hill Raceway in San Marcos, Texas.

NeilTPS Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 May I add a Meyer Speedway, Houston (1/2 mile) historic item - Meyer Speedway started in 1959 and had one NASCAR Cup event in 1971. The race included Bobby Allison and Richard Petty, James Hylton, Ronnie Chumley driving for H.B. Bailey, Tony Bettenhausen Jr. , Walter Ballard and Jerry Schild in a 300 lap night race. The event paid winner Bobby Allison $2,000 which was big money in those days. The race was co-promoted by Ed Hamblen and Bill France Sr. Later track history witnessed encroaching residential and commercial properties in Houston near Meyer Speedway at the intersection of South Main at Hillcroft. The track was closed in 1979 and subsequently demolished).

NickHolt Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 On 7/6/2022 at 5:26 AM, HiTech said: DIDNT see terry labonte name on the LIST NICK ... ..ofcourse impossible when he was just 15 and wet behind the ears starting his future in racing at cc speedway in 71 The reason is that there is no race track in Texas that has the Labonte name. Hopefully, either Bobby or Terry will decide to operate a Texas track at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 one of the labonte bothers was interviewed not long ago and was asked about the sad asphalt racing scene in texas and if he was going to do anything about it. he said texas is where he grew up but North Carolina is his home. he also said it was sad but doesn't effect him.
