txtom Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Poorboy, It was a 1/4 Mile. The neat thing is it has paved pits, parking, and air and water throughput the pits. Here is a link to some pics I took Labor Day, 2005: Pan Am 2005 The location was Toepperwein Road in Northeast San Antonio, about 1 1/2 miles west of I-35, on the North side of the road, and those cars you see are from a dealer overflow lot that was built on what was the parking lot and the spectator grounds. The back fence of the car lot is at the edge of a road that ran directly in front of the grandstands so the fans could see the drivers on their way to race. There are several threads that mention the track, but this track (Pan American # 2) operated from 1965 to 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FryarFan Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Just kinda stare at that image for a few minutes and all those names come back to ya......Bean, Storbeck, Ford, Harper, Yantis, Finger, Schwabe, Wallace's, Kelly's, Elbel's, etc, etc......You can almost hear Ricci's booming voice over the PA........... And looking at that big X in the middle, how about Allan Vasbinder in that (orange?) #13 winning a bunch of those Figure 8 races.... Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
