Unhappy Angleton raceway sold and closed

Not that many of you went there, but saying that we lost another dragstrip. I got my only track championship there back in 06.

ANGLETON RACEWAY SOLD AND SHUT DOWN.

WELL FOLKS, I WAITED AS LONG AS I COULD TO POST THIS, BUT IT DOES'NT LOOK LIKE WE HAVE ANGLETON RACEWAY ANY LONGER. I TRIED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE OWNER, BUT MY CALL WAS NEVER RETURNED, AND I FINALLY GOT IN TOUCH WITH RICKY AND HE CONFIRMED WHAT I HEARD.

THE TRACK HAS APPARENTLY BEEN SOLD TO SOMEONE OUT OF STATE, AND WILL BE CONVERTED TO A HELICOPTER BASE OR HELIPORT. THERE WAS ALOT OF HOPE THAT THE TRACK WOULD BE REOPENED UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP WITH INPROVMENTS, BUT THATS NOT THE CASE. I HAD A LOT OF GOOD TIMES AND MEMORIES OUT THERE AND MADE A LOT OF FRIENDS. I WATCHED IT FROM THE TIME THEY BROKE GROUND AND WAS THERE OPENING DAY. I TRULY FEEL LIKE I HAVE LOST A FRIEND.

Yeah I had been hearing it was going to close. This sucks because I always go to that track because it close to me. Now I got to drive over a hour to a track

i went there a few years ago and my lowered mach didn't like the return road at all.

I'm sure it sucks for people that live out there. they really have a far drive to a track. or street race lol

I know this in an old thread, but I stopped by there a few weeks ago and snapped a few photos. Got me a souvenir also.

Aholes make street racing a felony and then close all the tracks and whine about people having fun here and there. Frickin politicians and liberal media ruin everything.

We lost alamo dragway at home but then they built rivercity raceway in marion so not too bad.
I've got some pics of alamo with my grandpa racing his 52 merc 2 door out there back in late 50's.
