Houston Raceway Park benefits from incredible atmospheric conditions because of its proximity to Trinity Bay, which feeds the facility cool air. The track’s first NHRA national event, in fall 1988, established the track as one of the sport’s quickest with NHRA’s first four-second Top Fuel quarter-mile pass. Since then, the track has hosted a dizzying array of record runs and its pandemic-forced move to the cool climes of late October this year and its position as the penultimate event of the year should only enhance its reputation.
