Eagles Canyon Raceway

Eagles Canyon Raceway is a motor racing track near Decatur, Texas built to FIA specifications. The track is located 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Fort Worth in eastern Wise County. The track was devised by David and Linda Cook, both with extensive backgrounds in motorsports, who set out to create a Formula 1-style race track in North Texas. They spent over two years locating the ideal land to recreate the feel of European countryside, eventually purchasing 441 acres (178 ha) of prairie land near Decatur in January 2006. The rocky hills and valleys of the property give the track 70 feet (21 m) of total elevation change, as a bonus providing good viewing for spectators. Ground breaking on Eagles Canyon started in April 2006. The track was designed in consultation with former racing driver Rob Wilson, former Formula One team manager and commentator Peter Windsor, and motorsport enthusiasts Dudley and Sally Mason-Styrron, among others. Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association provided design input from a motorcyclist's perspective regarding curbs and the pit lane. In October 2006 a small plane crashed upon take off from the still under construction track. The original 2.5-mile (4.0 km), 11-turn track opened in November 2007 after a $3.5 million investment. It is 40 feet (12 m) wide overall and 48 feet (15 m) on the front straight. The track has 200 feet (61 m) of elevation changes
