The Grand Texas First Attraction Opening Soon
New Caney, TX – The Grand Texas is one step closer to opening its first phase of development. The projected 26-acre Speedsportz Racing Park is scheduled for a soft opening in April with full opening to the public by May, President and co-owner Alan Rudolph said. Construction on the racing park had been delayed four months due to inclement weather and utility hookup delays after beginning work last April. Now that all the infrastructure is funded and the water and sewer line put in, construction will be ready for January.
Rudolph, who is a professional kart driver, said the Speedsportz venue will feature a separate high-speed performance track and a European-style rental kart facility and track. They will offer racing for drivers age 10 and up with regular karts that can travel up to 50 mph and high-powered karts that can reach speeds of up to 90 mph.
The Alan Rudolph Racing Academy will offer instructional kart-driving courses for children and adults. For experienced and professional racers, club memberships are available along with a 36-car garage to store karts on-site and a repair shop with fuel, tires and other spare parts. “Around the country, [Speedsportz has] got a lot of buzz,” Rudolph said. “It’s going to be a world-class facility that will eventually host national world class-level races.”

The main water plant for the site was complete mid 2015 and by December, the RV Park had electrical, water and sewer utilities. They are set to open this spring. Further details will likely be available in February 2016. The entire complex is projected to be completed in 2019.
