UPDATED JAN. 2010
I drove to the former speedway site for the first time since its demise and let me tell you
how sad and frustrating it is to see this fantastic track replaced by a Costco, shopping malls,
shopping strips, houses, apartments and all that crap. And just a few miles past this there is
wide open land still, why couldn't they leave the track alone and build elsewhere???

All photos taken with my Pentaxes- one had a 35-135mm zoom and the other had a 1000mm telephoto. To see the full size image click on
ORIGINAL below each photo.
The IMSA GTP cars were my favorite racing cars and Road Courses are my
favorite tracks.
So I had a great time at the GTP race at the terrific Riverside
International Speedway in 1986.
Feel free to use these photos but please put a link to RoyHooper.com.

Victor, that is great story and I'm glad I captured him in the photo. Thank you.
