San Antonio / IMSA / and Thunder in the Streets

Ran across a box of old pictures taken during the San Antonio Grand Prix, mainly in 1987. In 1987, 88, 89 and 1990 the IMSA road show came to the streets of San Antonio. To me this was the heyday of IMSA and we saw some great street racing. The 962's were still dominant in 1987 but by 1990 the Nissans were the GTPs to beat. The 962s, Nissan, Jaguar and Toyota GTPs and all the big-name drivers of that era were there:

Al Holbert's Lowenbrau 962, the 1987 winner:


The paddock:



A.J. Foyt and Derek Bell (hard to believe those little white shorts of Mr. Bell were the style of the day)



Street Racing:







or not:


All 4 years results:
