Houston Raceway Park in Baytown will close after the NHRA's annual SpringNationals in April 2022. The 500-acre facility's new owners will repurpose the drag racing complex into an industrial business park after the NHRA's final event.2 hours ago
 
This is bullshit. How many is this in five years?
 
Sorry to read this.... glad my track is hanging in there and ... STILL RACES 1/4 MILE !!
 
When HRP was built, it was out in the middle of nowhere, racing was going at least 2-3 nights a week & the Pros tested there on a regular basis. Suddenly new home construction started & it was downhill from there. When the Angel family bought out the Gay family, it was just a matter of time before it all went to hell in a basket. Once upon a time HRP had a circle track close to the drag strip. The circle track went away & a warehouse facility was built, as soon as the price of real estate began to rise again, everyone was watching to see what was going to happen.

Ours too. We just installed concrete barriers to comply with NHRA wants. Our Mopar car club helped with the project.
