If the guys at Liberty Motorsports Park get their way Houston will have another racetrack to call home.



About Liberty Motorsports Park - URL for more info: http://www.libertymotorsportspark.com

Liberty Motorsports Park is a master planned Motorsports Park development situated on a scenic undulating 810-acre tract in Liberty County, Texas adjacent to the City of Cleveland. LMP provides not only a world-class designed racetrack, but also one of the most functional paddocks in the United States.

Adding to the development are residential and commercial properties on the facility grounds that provide over 300 acres of development property. Designed utilizing FIM/FIA specifications to ensure safety and a facility that can host world-class as well as regional events, LMP is positioned to be the next great American Motorsports Park.

I think it is interesting that they took the FIM/FIA specifications into mind. Since the Motorsports Ranch sites do not follow such specifications they are not highly considered by racing organizations or sanctioning bodies.

So now we have three drag strips (Houston Raceway Park, Houston Motorsports Park, and LoneStar (now owned by Hennessey) and four road courses (including those being developed) Motorsports Ranch Houston, Grand Sport Speedway, LoneStar Motorsports Park and the afore mentioned Liberty Motorsports Park. Not to mention we still have Texas World Speedway just an hour away (that would make 5).

Wow, maybe by the time they get all of these tracks done, I will have gotten my car together!

 

Hope it happens, but like I've said a million times before I'll believe it when my wheels hit the pavement.

Looks like there's also another one or two being planned in the DFW area... when the hell is somebody gonna build something in Austin?!

 

Too many environmentalists and hippies up there... plus you guys have several hundred miles of roads that are worth driving. All in all, I'm more envious of your loops than I am our tracks.

 

We need one right between SA and Austin.

 

cannot wait

 

Clear the outlets in San Marcos and build a track right there!

 

Oh man.... Liberty County... you have to be kiddin me.

I was an assistant manager at the Whataburger in Cleveland back in the day.

 

There were supposed to be 3 in the area, two were BS from the start (Michel Jourdain and Darrell Waltrip were building them) and the other I was told by one of the managers he didn't think it was going to happen. Judging by the fact that it's been at least a year and I haven't heard anything I'm assuming it went the way of GunterRing.
