The Dallas Grand Prix was a series of auto races held at temporary street circuits in the vicinity of Dallas starting in 1984. The inaugural 1984 event was round of the Formula One World Championship and took place in Fair Park, near downtown Dallas. The 1985 race was cancelled due to financial problems, safety concerns, and citizen complaints stemming from the venue's close proximity to residential neighborhoods. In 1988, the race was revived as a round of the Trans-Am Series. In 1989, the event moved to the northern Dallas suburb of Addison. After a one-year hiatus in 1992, the event returned to Dallas at a new street circuit around Reunion Arena, and was last held in 1996.
