Riverside Raceway

This may be old news to some. My apologies, if so. Good footage for all us old guys from the early days of Shelby American.

Very good - Riverside is where I lived my misspent youth from about 1961 until it closed. The house that Gurney built. Everyone else was a guest driver there. Yes it was the home track all the big name SoCal racers but Gurney was the most successful in every type of car.  Watch the spots with Dave McDonald - America's original drifter. He was able to make any car too wide to get past. Ken Miles standing next to his flipped stockcar is a classic. No one who ever sat in Turn 6 can forget watching Petty lean his car against the guardrail and nail the throttle to get past someone.

Ran it a few times "back in the day." Challenging.  Required talent and experience.  Had a sudden rear tire failure entering turn 9 that is still stuck in my memory of the track.  My lucky day.  LOL
