FryarFan Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Mike tps48, Thank you very much for this. Incredible pic. So awesome. Always heard Dad talk about the old Pan Am, and going to races there, and all the names. But in later years he couldn't remember exactly where it was, and with all the building out that way by then. Seeing this is incredible. Mom and Dad are now eternally resting just across Austin Hwy at Sunset, can even see the divided drive in the lower left into the cemetary. Never realized PA was right there at that corner. Thank you. Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 TIM, There are quite a few pics and discussions about "Old" Pan Am in this history section. You just have to look around for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano36 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Saw two races there I believe it was back in 1958. If I recall the track was half asphalt and half dirt. There were many cars there and one racer's name I recall being there that day was a young 19 year old Ricci Ware. He rolled it one of those races I saw in between three and four. Ricci was a crowd pleaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
