GrandSport Speedway Open House - September 30th 2007

GrandSport Speedway is Texas’ newest sports car racing facility located in Hitchcock, Texas at the former historic Naval Air Station Hitchcock. The initial phase is now completed and will be followed by additional tracks and facilities.

The facility will be used by automobile clubs, automobile manufacturers motorcycle clubs, and many automobile and motorcycle schools. Nationally acclaimed Racing Adventures High Performance Driving School, including their Teenage Survive and Arrive driver training program, will base their operations at GrandSport Speedway.

As a point of interest The GrandSport Speedway Club located at the site is an automobile Country club that operates much like a golf country club. The main exception is that the members drive cars and not golf *****.

All car enthusiasts are welcome to come out and tour the track and perhaps to drive their car on the track in organized lead follow sessions to see how the track looks and feels. Additionally the pro drivers from Racing Adventures Driving School will be offering hot lap rides around the track.

For more information please call David at GrandSport Speedway at 409-986-7223

Track Address: 7575 Blimp Base Rd, Hitchcock, Texas. 77563
Directions to the track: From downtown Houston travel south on I-45. Exit on exit 15, continue strait thru the intersection staying right onto FM2004 that travels in front the dog racing track. Continue on FM2004 for about 3 miles right through the town of Hitchcock, until you see four large concrete pillars on you left. The track is right behind these pillars. Turn left at the GrandSport Speedway sign a half a mile passed Blimp Base Rd.
