Three-time Indy 500 winner and King of the Hill at Pikes Peak Bobby Unser will be the guest of honor at the fourth annual Legends of Riverside, scheduled for March 31–April 1 at the Riverside International Automotive Museum in the California city.
“Riverside was a fantastic race track,” noted Unser, “and had an awfully good reputation. The people who worked it and ran it, everything was all good. I mean really good. I have a lot of good memories about Riverside, and I wish it was still there. I think it was probably the finest road circuit in the United States. The racing was exciting and good, and always competitive!”
Legends of Riverside features appearances by more than 50 veteran race drivers who get together to share their memories of RIR in particular and racing in general while enjoying great food and beverages. Some of them may even be featured in the rarely seen racing films that are shown throughout the weekend.
Also scheduled are a silent auction of assorted racing memorabilia, an autograph signing by racing personalities and a display of historic racing cars. Only 150 tickets are available to the public, with proceeds from the event going to the Tony Stewart Foundation. For complete information about the event please visit www.LegendsOfRiverside.com.
