Harris Hill Raceway is a motorsports circuit located in San Marcos, Texas, halfway between San Antonio and Austin. Racing enthusiasts holding valid driving licenses can register as club members to participate in the local competitions held at the venue, like the H2R Challenge Racing Series, the Miata Challenge, the Mustang Challenge, etc. Harris Hill Raceway's vision is to be the place where speed-thirsty drivers can live out their passion for racing in a secure, affordable, and exciting fashion. The track is open six days a week, with an average of 300 sunny days a year. Good weather is possible almost year-round, despite high summer temperatures, occasional rainfall, and rare winter frosting.
Racing in Harris Hill Raceway feels like riding a rollercoaster, with 11 turns snaking through hilly terrain with 150 feet of elevation changes in the whole trajectory. The road course is 36-feet wide, with a total length of 1.81 miles. The design of the track by David Donovan allows racing both clockwise and counterclockwise, with long sweepers and close angle blind turns that keep drivers guessing what's next. The signature trait of Harris Hill is turn number 4, Santa Rita, an 80-feet high hill climb immediately followed by the corresponding 80-feet dive that gets vehicles running to top speed.
The counterclockwise orientation in Harris Hill Raceway takes the hairpin at the beginning of the race and, from then on, goes through the most technically challenging sector on the track at a lower speed than the CW orientation. After turn number 6 and turn number 5, the vehicles have caught enough velocity to go uphill at Santa Rita and come flashing down into the straightaway segment from there to Carmen's Corner. The average speed is 73 mph, very similar to the 75 mph of the CW orientation.
