Strada Corsa Houston

About Strada Corsa Houston: NASA’s Johnson Space Center will host Strada Corsa Houston, scheduled for the weekend of May 5-7, 2017, when enthusiasts of all ages will be treated to 400 historic road racing cars competing in eight race groups on a 3.4-mile temporary road circuit on facility‘s main campus in Houston, Texas. The three-day weekend by aerospace, military, automotive and lifestyle attractions, a collector car auction, and a trio of grand-scale parties. Singular feature of the circuit sure to thrill fans and drivers alike is a mile-long straightaway some 75-feet wide. Event organizer Cragg Eubanks and his L’Equipe Management, LLC say they have secured approvals for the races and festival from the JSC and Space Center Houston locally, as well as NASA h.q. in Washington, D.C. Eubanks told VM organizers envision Strada Corsa Houston as an annual event to anchor what’s ultimately aimed as a weeklong Houston happening centered around the auto lifestyle and space exploration. They’re expecting 30,000 spectators and 300-plus race entrants, who will enter the festival site via Space Center Houston, where they’ll see exhibits including the Mars rover, Orion space capsule and the space shuttle perched atop a 747, with additional tours to Mission Control and the James Webb space telescope. Spectators board trams for Rocket Park (home of NASA’s launch vehicles including the Saturn V booster) where the races are sited. Weather Track Map Track Location Scanner Frequency
