Though owned by Mrs. Idaleen Gibson, the track is now under the control of a family trust. The track has been closed to racers since late 2009 and the trust did not respond to CMRA requests for a 2010 use agreement. The trust has not disclosed future plans for the track. Oak Hill Raceway was constructed in 1975 by brothers Jack and Pete Reed. The CRRC (now CMRA) first raced at Oak Hill in December 1975 and the track has been a mainstay in the club’s schedule since. Situated in rolling hills east of Henderson, Texas, the highly technical 1.8 mile, 13-turn track has been credited by many national and world champions that came through the CMRA as an important part of their development as racers. The CMRA would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Gibson and Track Manager Darryl Stach for their many years of support of the CMRA and motorcycle road racing. We also thank the citizens and businesses of Henderson, Texas for their hospitality since 1975.
