I discovered this race track just outside of the Houston area. I believe it is now permanently closed. Located at the cross streets of Battle Road and 10625 Crosby Lynchburg Road. Battleground Speedway 10625 Crosby Lynchburg Road Highlands, Texas, 77562 Description: 1/8 mile and 3/8 mile Clay Ovals Track Length: 1/8 and 3/8 mi Surface: Clay Shape: Oval Seating Capacity: 5000 Classes Raced: Sprint Car, Late Model, Limited Modified, Mod-Lite, Classic Drawf, Pure Stock, StreetStock, Eco Stock, and Jr. Mini Our Claim To Fame: Established since 1984. Hosted World of Outlaw Series Looking on Google Earth, it appears the race track went abandoned and then revived nearly a decade later. I wonder the story here? Dirt track to clay track?

Preface: This is my first ever post on HAIF. I have read this forum semi-regularly for a few years, but just decide to create an account yesterday. I am sorry if I made mistakes in this post or put it in the wrong place. Whenever I load up Google Maps, one thing about Houston always catches my eye: The lack of development on the eastern end of the Houston area. The whole area roughly bounded by 99, I10, Beltway 8, and 59, and extending partially into East Houston is almost completely rural farmland or empty lots. It is practically the same distance from the inner loop as Katy, Cinco Ranch, and Cypress, which have all been built out rapidly in the last 15 years. I was just wondering if there was a specific reason for avoiding building in this huge area? Picture of region here: https://imgur.com/a/HuvoFM9
