KELLY83 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 No updates in months. Only links on thier website that actually works, goes to the merchandise. Do they just want our money or is it really going to happen? It's sure looking fishy. They went and met with SCCA and ofcourse all that was done... they sold T shirts and hats. No deals made. Anyone know anything for certain? Please no he said she said. Just the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVCMNGR1 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I heard from what I consider a reliable source in the business community in Pearland that it went belly-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 As of mid June, plans for the Houston Super Speedway were "put on hold" due to a lack of inve$tor$. It is always possible that a major investor could materialize, but nobody's holding their breath. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilTPS Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 The silence being made by Houston Superspeedway is deafening. Is silence the correct way to attract investors? Suggest that all you Houston area racers keep your ears and eyes on this proposed track and keep all of us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckLicata Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 There is no Houston Superspeedway, nor will there be a Houston Superspeedway anytime soon... My sources have told me that there is no $$$$ (read: another "proposed" Texas new track that won't be built) and that no one is jumping in to throw some money at this project...

Guest The_Greek Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 just my opinion but i would love to see Houston build a short track something similiar to Bristol, i think Nascar already has plenty of superspeedways, if a short track was built besides Cup, Busch, and Trucks, it could also bring in Hooters, All Pro, ASA and other top racing series. jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KELLY83 Posted September 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 There has been a rumor I have heard from totally different sources, even in different states, that Houston Raceway Park (drag strip and dirt track) has a 5/8 mile asphalt track in the plans for sometime in the next 4 years. It won't be used for weekly classes. Just for specials and touring series' only... We'll see. Hope it isn't a bust like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyRodriguez Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 How about a 3/4 mile oval like Richmond ? I saw all the racing (truck,Busch,Cup) on the the tube and man, that is some good stuff and the folks come out to pack the stands. It seems like all the money people build the cookie-cutter tracks, the 1.5 tri-oval but this is the way to go !!! We have TWS, Michigan's twin, sitting in aggieland but imagine a 3/4 in good market..

TheLegend96 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 if a short track was built besides Cup, Busch, and Trucks, it could also bring in Hooters, All Pro, ASA and other top racing series. If im not mistaken HMP has already had 2 out of the last 3 and it looks like both series are interested in returning for the 2005 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
