Private auto racetrack to open

by Matt Bramanti · 10/10/2005 11:24 am

Benzion needs to spring for an LST membership to this place:

There’s a new 380 acre piece of land near Angleton that’s a haven for people who want to see just what their cars can do. The black top is 2.4 miles long and has 16 turns.

A Lamborghini owner we spoke with says Motorsport Ranch Houston is just what he’s been looking for.

"There’s no better rush than being out here and actually being able to test these kinds of vehicles the way God intended them to be driven," said auto enthusiast Lee Tillman.

If you want to drive on the ranch, it will cost you. Membership dues are $7,000 plus $150 in monthly fees. The track should be completed next month.

Hell yeah. I want to take this bad boy for a spin.

If I could afford $7000 and $150 a month I would drive like a bat out of hell on the regular roads. A speeding ticket is less than that.

Any way we could fit the 16 cylinder 3000HP MTU in there? I love the smell of diesel in the morning.

is this the same place as Houston Superspeedway that couldn’t be finished due to lack of funding?

This sounds like fun. Can’t wait to hear about the backyard Americanski mechanic men bringing out their 23 Ford roadsters and 32 Ford roadsters and Crosley Hotshots and other shadetree creations and wiping up the road with the Maseratis, Ferraris and other exoticomobiles in the $100+K range.

They will sell admission to regular humans to watch the fatdaddies play with their toys, won’t they? And how about “run what ya brung” days a few times a year to show real folks at play? Yes??

By the way, I didn’t know there was any “new” land being made, whether near Angelton, or anywhere else, except Hong Kong and Japan to build airports on.
