King237 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 here is another one (and better video quality) I found with less than 300 views. I can't believe how good it is, especially the celebration party at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my father and uncle’s car is in it (the street stock at 2:49) but it’s hard to tell, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top_shelf_12 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Videos don't do it justice how fast that track was and how well Brandon mastered SAS. Still nothing sounds better than 20 or so Late Models taking the green at SAS. Would give almost anything to go back to those days. USMTS and Sprint Cars are close to that sound but SAS was truly special. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metroracer Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 This Very Special Asphalt High- Banked Speedway opened in mid - late summer of 1977 as "Highway - 16 Raceway"....Some time around 1982 - 1984 this track was re-named as San Antonio Speedway from then on.... So my guess is since it is named SAS in this video, and the interior pits & grounds are still sparse and bare so to speak.... And the Late Model cars in the video is sharp wedge style nose type of Camaro & Firebirds with tall Lexan rear spoilers that came in to vouge in 1982 - 1984.... And late 60's & early 70's cars for street stocks racing in the video.... So My Guess is 1982 to 1984.... I raced there in 1980 & 1981 and it was named "Highway-16 Raceway" at that time with the "Alamo Raceway" drag strip that was just behind the oval track grand stands....you could watch both races from the top row of seats at SAS.... us Houston teams or us out of towner's got $60.00 Tow-Money on top of the Purse winnings for the night. Now that was how to run a rail-road....Good & Honest Track Management.... good times.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_shelf_12 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 We did that often, especially when the drag strip had the jet cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyRodriguez Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm thinking that was 1984 from some of those cars as I go way back in the memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
