Chris ABC13 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hi, I'm Chris with KTRK-TV, working on a historic photo spread of racing in Houston. Does anyone know where the "South Houston Race Track" was. I found one location called "South Main Speedway", next to "Wells Air Field" off south main, on an old map. I also found an oval, near La Concha, by the Astrodome, on google earth. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlydays Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The track in the photo is not Meyers Speedway, it was on S. Main, not OST. The track in the photo is Arrowhead Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmer Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 My guess is that might have been the midget car and kart race track across from Buff Stadium in the late 40's and early 50's. That's kinda near what's officially South Houston. Search these forums and you can find other posts about old racetracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
