Designed and built by Bill McClure on his North Texas Dairy, the facility opened in 1960, and was used for over 20 years until its closure in 1986. Track description and historyGreen Valley Raceway was a {{convert|1.6|mi|km|1|abbr=on}} permanent road course, whilst the start-finish straight was also used as a drag strip.[2] The road course was used for Trans-Am Series races, SCCA races,[2] and it also held a Can-Am race in 1984.[3] The drag strip was used for NHRA and AHRA-sanctioned events.[2] In 1974, Evel Knievel used the circuit for one of his stunt performances.[4] The track has since been demolished, and is now a site for housing developments. Green Valley Elementary School is also located where the track once was and the school uses a perfect attendance trophy made from a piece of the demolished race track.[2] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://gdecarli.it/php/circuit.php?var1=2563&var2=2 |title=Tracks: Green Valley Raceway |publisher=Guido de Carli |date=14 February 2007 |accessdate=7 August 2013}} {{Can-Am circuits}}{{motorsport-stub}}{{Texas-sports-venue-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://www.na-motorsports.com/Tracks/TX/GreenValleyRaceway.html |title=Green Valley Raceway |publisher=North American Motorsports Pages |date=2 September 2005 |accessdate=7 August 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.oldracingcars.com/canam/1984/ |title= Can-Am 1984 |publisher=OldRacingCars.com |accessdate=7 August 2013}} 4. ^{{cite book |title=Life of Evel: Evel Knievel |author=Stuart Barker |publisher=HarperCollins UK |page=120 |date=21 January 2010 |accessdate=7 August 2013}} 3 : Defunct sports venues in Texas|Motorsport venues in Texas|Defunct motorsport venues in the United States |
