Legends of Riverside

[LOVE CHP]

Great times at RIR

Ralphie: What a wonderful time you must have had with all of those great drivers and cars. I use to race a Corvette in SCCA races. Riverside was my favorite track. We set the BP track record there 1:33 sec. in 1973 and again in 1974. Many times we would run the same weekends as the Can Am and get to mix with the "greats". Being around it today just gets my adrenalin pumping. It stays in your blood forever! Maybe next year I will see you at the Legends. Richard S.

On this coming weekend, March 25-27, the 3rd "Legends of Riverside" will take place at the Riverside International Automotive Museum, 815 Marlborough, Riverside, California. The 2011 Honoree is Parnelli Jones (last year it was Carroll Shelby). I plan on attending all three days of the event, starting on Friday afternoon. A link to the program is:
