1966 Motor Trend 500 (Riverside)

[@MyJacksond]

I was at that race! that was real racing

[@wags2010]

Dan could really put it on everybody at Riverside in those races, what a legend

[@timatkinson9291]

Love those old school races.

[@jasonfryer7002]

Can you imagine the RAW GO-PRO footage from inside of one of these back in the day?. Epic‼️

[@steeliewheelies]

Bobby Allison really put his own spin on racing that day

[@Reddaytonadog3]

Why couldn't we see racing at Riverside like we just seen. Why can't we see this racing today? California just had to turn this place into a shopping mall. One of these days, I just may bring back Riverside or something resembling Riverside. People just don't know about Riverside these days. It was the place to get the best road racing in the world.

They were definitely more stock than today's that's for sure, but they were still quite well modified from showroom spec. I guess production cars of old really made better race cars than today's econoboxes or technology ridden performance machines. NASCAR has done well to keep the cars completely free of electronics. A race car should be completely controlled by the driver in every aspect.

[@WintersKamp]

500 mile road race!!! Bet they had nice blisters on their hands afterwards!!!

[@ratty383]

I agree, At least the cars were based on real 'showroom' models rather than being custom built from the ground up. I don't doubt that the drivers skills are any different but I think the old school Nascar boys had guts !

[@GTO1111111]

Fantastic post..thx

[@affandi99]

I love it !

[@terryjacob8169]

In the battle for the lead, Car and Driver magazine described how Dan Gurney and Curtis Turner beat one another up with everything except a lead pipe.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MichaelBarrJr]

where did you get this from?

[@Leonefan]

Yea, they definitely did. And competition rules were more sporting than today too.

[@Mr500xl]

Look at all of the Ford Galaxie 500xl's at the front of the pack...

[@jasonfryer7002]

I think that's all that was allowed

[@514570HP]

Great video !!! Great job !!! but it would be better with the engines and tires sound.

[@makaylahtheunicornrupcic4051]

Woah this my favorite track turn best than all the track this have be on my nascar best track

[@TheOneDogmaster]

you could order most of the engine parts from stock to mod. when ordering a car then :) so like a charger or a taladego all these power cars "could" also meet on street . better times... thx for this.
