I'm too young to remember Riverside, so this is fascinating.

Thank you for sharing this historic race 👍

It would have been interesting to see if Newman could have indeed held off a hard charging Pruitt. Good stuff! Thanks for posting this video.

Awesome mix of cars & engines. These days are the best!

[@Commander-McBragg]

Shedded a tear or two during this one. Many great memories

[@RandyDubin]

What an amazing post! Thanks for the video!

[@Michael_Lorenson]

Excellent, thanks. Scott Pruett is one of the best of all time, maybe _the_ best, in this kind of race car. These 'stock cars' or 'silhouette cars' had some technical aspects in common, as was mentioned, including stock engine blocks, tubular steel chassis, and sports car size and weight.

its so hard to find information about this stuff. All searches lead to Pontiac Firebirds. What were the engine regulations like for these?

[@BogattheMoon]

So Roush was running in house developed turbo four as opposed to Zakspeed turbo four?

[@garneauweld1100]

Remember when they put in 7A. Never did figure out a good exit on 6. I just followed the crowd.

[@adriananderson76]

Wait, hold on. Did I just saw Bob Barker's name on here? At 8:54

[@robertryan7204]

Bit like an Australian Sports Sedan race with the different manufacturers and powerplants

[@metrichotrods1763]

Barren cointeyside between Los Angeles and Riverside? Now its wall to wall townhouses and strip malls.
