The Dallas Grand Prix was a race on the Formula One calendar.
The 1984 Dallas Grand Prix was conceived as a way to demonstrate Dallas's status as a "world-class city". The Formula One race took place on in the summer of 1984 on a temporary street circuit in Fair Park, despite pre-race organizational problems, intense 100 °F (38 °C) heat, and poor track conditions including pavement failures. These conditions thus exacerbated the amount of attrition in the race. Co-organizer Larry Waldrop later said that the summer date was chosen to minimize the possibility of rain during the event, and he expressed regret that the organizers did not adequately anticipate the effects of Texas summer heat on the event generally and the pavement specifically.
The race was not held after 1984 due to financial and safety concerns.
