If you are the interesting combination of human who happens to be both a history buff & car enthusiast THIS experience was made for you.
In collaboration with Racing Adventures, I gifted my partner a few laps in an exotic car of his choice, which quickly morphed into the, "I'm hooked. Let's come back. I want more laps" experience gift of the year...I think I'll be stuck coming out to this track for years to come.
Aka. Houston Grandsport Motorsports Park, know this gem is near Galveston, as opposed to Houston proper. Also know, this historic speedway is where John Mecom Jr housed and developed three of the five Grandsport Corvette Racecars in the sixties. Also also know the Speedway was formerly a WWII Naval Air Station and it shows.
This beautiful backdrop provides an unmatched driving experience & history lesson only enhanced by the staff. They walked through the history, walked my partner through the track and turns in a traditional car, and provided support as he drove the exotic. We later discussed a few of the additional cars, and were allowed to stay to watch someone drive the lemans winning legend Ford GT40.
I'm neither a car enthusiast nor history buff, but I had fun photographing the vehicles, watching laps & petting Heidi (the dog).
If your corporation is looking for a team building experience, you have an event to celebrate, or you want to be partner of the year, I highly recommend this experience.
