Last week I was chatting with fellow Speedhunters Rod Chong and Sean Klingelhoefer over lunch when the topic of old race tracks came up. When it comes to California, there are few tracks missed more than Riverside.

Earlier today I came across this film from the 1963 Riverside 500 NASCAR race, which includes Dan Gurney, Fireball Roberts, Parnelli Jones and other legends hustling their big sedans around the long-demolished road course in SoCal.
