History
The land was originally purchased by Larry Grismer and Sandy Belond in 1961 and in 1964 they opened Carlsbad Raceway. The land was sold in 1986 to a third party and Carlsbad Raceway was leasing the property to use on a month to month basis until subsequently closing in August 2004 when the property owners decided to develop the land.[1][2][3]
