Motor Speedway Resort (MSR) Houston is a
road course race track located in Angleton, Texas. The track uses a membership system similar to that of country clubs where members may use the course for a nominal fee per use.[1]
The track has recently begun hosting its own racing series for club members.
The main 17-turn 2.38 mi (3.83 km) track is 40 ft (12 m) wide and driven counter-clockwise (typical) or clockwise. The facility has a separate 0.75 mi (1.2 km) banked-turn
karting course also with 17 turns,[3] a rally track 100 acres (0.40 km2) in size, and a 90,000 sq ft (8,400 m2) skidpad.[1]
The course is also often used for track rentals that may involve professional race teams, particularly those in various sports car series as well as the
Atlantic Championship
.
MSR Houston is the home of the following: Hands On Driving Academy, DESports Racing, WildWing America, Tramontana America, and Spec Racer Sports.
