Hi all, been a lifelong racing fan and knew about San Antonio Speedway, Texas Dirt Speedway and Alamo Dragway, but I had no idea how rich San Antonio's racing history is beyond those. So I've been thoroughly enjoying reading about all the tracks that used to exist here.
Now to the point of this post. I was browsing Google Earth checking out the sites of former tracks (really cool to see the Pan American Speedway track surface still exists and I'd love to visit some day) and I was looking at pictures from before Alamo Dragway/Texas Dirt Speedway were torn down and the trucking companies moved in, and I noticed something in a field to the northeast off of Watson Rd. It's a 1 mile long oval with decently banked corners. Google only has pictures from 1995 forward and it never appears as anything but a plowed, incomplete oval. Was this a would-be track that was never completed, a complete track prior to 1995 that just deteriorated, or not a track at all and something else? In 2014 the field became the site of Resnik Middle School and Southwest Legacy High School.
Looking forward to hearing from y'all and hope someone can shed light on this.
