It’s a crime this race track got torn down. What a damn shame
Yes it was it was turned Into houses and condominium and a shopping center as well the same with Ontario motor Speedway as well
Moreno Valley Mall has been a failure since the day it was built
They all need a redo
Qqqqqqqq
NASCAR is a crime.
They literally abandoned their base and wondered what happened
I lived in Charlotte in the 90’s and I’d save all my money to go to Charlotte Motor speedway, THE ROCK, Bristol, Darlington , North Wilkesboro, Martinsville , even Richmond.
I don’t care even if they race or not now.
It basically started dying on February 15, 2001.
Riverside Rockingham and North Wilkesboro are Still Missed By Fans
instaBlaster...
I was there that day, sitting in turn 2 with my late friend Greg....I well remember the rain coming in at the end, most of the crowd took off but we stayed until the victory lap....there were only a handful of people left when Bobby Allison came by, we stood and applauded as we got soaked....the late '70's-early '80's were great years for motor sports in Southern California, as we had the stock cars on the oval at Ontario Motor Speedway as well as on the road course at Riverside....the Indy cars also came to Ontario...and, every April, the Formula 1 series came to the temporary street circuit at Long Beach...so, without leaving L.A., I got to see Andretti, Niki Lauda, James Hunt, Gilles Villineuve, Richard Petty, Waltrip, Earnhardt, Rick Mears, A.J. Foyt, Unser Sr. and Unser Jr., Bobby Rahal....
riichkay55 me too,I was at the Bosch bridge .
You left out the GOAT...David Pearson.
I was a flagger there
@@plantfeeder6677 He didn't leave out the GOAT... He said Richard Petty.
@@nascaronly9801 ya in your mind only.
Pretty narrow minded though considering even Petty admits David Pearson was the better driver. Petty always had the best equipment cause Plymouth only had him to sponsor. David was the guy who came up from nothing while Richard was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I like the underdog story better. You on the other hand support a really messed up organization that has thrown it's fan base under the bus to be woke! How's that working out other than more places to sit in the stands😂
Bill Elliot's first win, and Bobby Allison's first and only championship
This track was fantastic and so was Ken Squier
Bill " the thing of it is " Elliott! Thanks NASCAR! These throwback races in HD sure kick alot of ass !
The Dukes of Hazzard used footage of this race for the season 3 episode Undercover Dukes where Bo comes out of retirement for a race and wins. The car he was supposed to be driving was actually Terry LaBonte's car and Terry made a cameo in the episode as a member of Bo's pit crew
Thanks for the information i didn't know that
That was actually season 6 Episode 16 and 17 of Dukes of Hazzard original air date Feb 10 and 17 1984
This legendary father son-duo both won their first races on road courses.
And now Chase Elliot (Bill's son) is a champion of NASCAR
Why did they have to build a freakin’ parking lot for a useless mall where this great roadcourse used to be?
Because the state of California was growing
because you are not entitled to other people's properties.
@@evannuh-koo-la4054 You're right, not only was California growing, but the area around Riverside Raceway was exploding with houses (and the newly formed Moreno Valley in 1984) and people surrounding the track were complaining about the noise the track was making but alas on July 2, 1989, Riverside had to die
@@JasonTrew2018 I don't understand how people can't take the noise of racecars goi-oh yeah it's California
@@ZIGAG1999 California......"The land of fruits and nuts."
I was watching this and my wife came into the room. I said "look at those 1983 stock cars". Her only comment? "Look at how high those splitters are".
Back when stock cars looked like stock appearing cars. Looked like passenger cars. Those Monte Carlos had a plastic nose with an air dam, those T-Birds looked boxy even though they ran the smaller rounded T-Birds in some races, and then the Buicks, Pontiacs, and Oldsmobiles looked like the same ones from 1981 and 1982. Back when NASCAR had real racing.
One of my favorite road courses ever, it's a shame I never got to see a race there. A fast road course, very tricky, high risk high reward, and the final turn is perfect for close finishes being a long sweeping banked right hander.
Truly a magnificent venue!!!
Also interesting that both Bill and Chase got their first wins on road courses after finishing second a lot of times.
thank you NASCAR for showing these old races.
Considering these were all taped and not filmed, I'm impressed with the quality of these classic race uploads.
I don't suppose we can get the 1987 Daytona and Talladega races someday. Be nice to see the last non-restricted races on those tracks.
Search on the tube and you'll find them! I've seen them few months ago...
@@Il_Dutur I've seen the 87 Winston 500 out there a few times but the quality is very poor compared to these.
VHS home recordings have nothing on these transfers from professional video tape
@@dorvinion Oh, I'm sorry. If you talk about quality, you're 100% right.
This track actually looks really fun to race, shouldn't have torn it down.
Sadly, the property value of the late 80s skyrocketed so much that selling off the track and its demolition for housing and malls became the deal.
I'll bet the Mall's 2/3 empty, like most malls nowadays.
@@gaffneyrailroading1982 I would bet the same thing with online shopping being the current rage.
There's a charm to these older races and I can't exactly explain it 😂
I can explain it.
It was simply simpler times. Things change, times change, no doubt, but these cars had character.
I am not a “everything sucks today” guy, but, again, time changes everything. It’s a fact.
@@sludge4125 I agree. I don't mind change at all, as a matter of fact I like most of what I've heard and seen coming for the 7th generation car next season. However, there's some things you just can't deny. One of them being that this era of NASCAR had character all it's own and can never be duplicated and most of it is found in it's simplicity.
The cars looked like the car you could buy at the dealer. Look at the different cars there. 2 different name Pontiac's, Grand Prix and Lemans. 2 Different Fords. the 82 box Tbird and the 83 balloon Tbird, Buick Regal, ' Olds Cutlass. Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS and even a single Chrysler I think an Imperial but it may have been a Dodge Mirada. Best of all, 0 Rice burners
My favorite driver what fun watching this thanks UA-cam
I was there as well. I remember talking to my buddy , "who in the Hell is this Bill Elliott guy. He sounds like he's right off the farm!". Little did we know.... And RIR is greatly missed. I was there with my brother for one of the last track day events in '89. The track was already pretty much in shambles. My late brother picked up a large wooden sign laying on the ground with direction to the Pits and Paddock. We walked out with it and nary a comment from anyone. I have it hanging in my garage to this day. Many fond memories of that place with my dad and brother and buddies.😣
Awesome Bill's first win this is great...thanks for the upload nascar
Tim Richmond was driving the shit out of that car.
Here before WhatInCarnation. this is my lobby now
@Zender Man bisexual
Bill Elliott’s first full season in the Cup Series (Ran partial from 1976-82). Had a solid 1983 with 12 Top5s & 22 Top10s along with that first career win that earned him a 3rd place points finish! Also led the points after the third race of the season.
3 with Rudd in it, man now that’s nostalgic.
Probably the most influential driver change in the whole history of nascar.
I'm an Earnhardt fan but Ricky got a raw deal there. Who knows if Ricky could have went on the tear that Dale did 3 years later.
Great race, thank you for posting it and in such good quality.
100% know i had nothing to do with this being uploaded but I'm gonna take credit for it anyway. thanks for hearing my suggestion a few weeks back on one of the Daytona 500 full race replays! Can't wait to sit back and watch this tonight!
Thanks, good to see Bill get on the board!
2:59:00 Wow! I did not expect that! Thanks to NASCAR for reposting these classic races. Looking forward to many more.
Who would a thunk it ,Bill on a road course.. My man from the early 80's till retirement.. Now the boy Chase is the new guy in town ...Still #9.. Dawsonville special..
Both got first wins on a road course.
I really like the look of these cars. It would be cool to build a 1981-84 hot rod that has this look. Thanks for uploading this!
Roll that beautiful Squarebird footage.
Ahh yes, Dale Earnhardt in his iconic #15 Ford
Went To The #3 and Everything's History
Love how most people don't know he ran a Ford ever.
Great upload. Thanks NASCAR.
I grew up watching this beautiful Regal cars.
Dan Gurney lapped the field here once. Also, these cars sound amazing, more GT than stock to my ears.
Funny enough, Cale Yarborough won the 1983 Daytona 500 & was color commentator for this race. 1 race later, he wins the 1984 Daytona 500. Crazy.
118 laps on a course with that long of a lap is crazy lol
As well as being Bill Elliott's first career win, was Hershel McGriff's final top 10 in Cup
Bill Elliott captured the checkered flag 1983 Winston Western 500 k at Riverside International Raceway in Riverside California number 9 melling oil pump Ford Thunderbird with piece of junk boxy 1982 T Bird first career in NASCAR history the birth of siren Dawsonville pool room the Huckleberry Finn of NASCAR Bill Elliott was established 😂
Ricky Rudd in the #3 car and Earnhardt in a FORD! Gotta love the number of Brands and manufacturers in the field back then Ford, Chevy, B.O.P & Dodge.
I miss this style of racing.
Only time Cale did a race from the booth..neat stuff.
The fuel pressure problem with Allison was the "sugar" that was mysteriously put in his gas can at possibly the pumps.
Bill Gardner discusses the aftermath of this situation on his "Scene Podcast " with Steve Waid and Rick Houston.
Chase like his father also won his first race on a road course. He is as much as great as him.
Chase gotta win a championship to match his old man.
@@GyzmoThaAngelofDeath he will
@@racecitypatriot5017 We'll see. They said the same about Dale Jr. No cigar. I'll forever be a Smoke Fan, since 99.
@@GyzmoThaAngelofDeath I know this is waaaayyy later in the future buuuuutt... Chase won a Championship :)
@@racecitypatriot5017 You were right :)
Riverside was always my favorite track.
These cars looked perfect for road course racing.
I was there that day. Funny race. I think we left early. When I found out Elliot won the race I thought he drove the 27 car for years after.
Ah yes, the 35th anniversary of NASCAR at Riverside. I sure wish this track could revive for the Cup Series.
We take for granted how smoothly the broadcasts go these days, because this broadcast was a mess. Cutting to cameras that were static, showing the wrong pre-recorded footage, microphones not working, etc.
Was winter race...see sky and green grass from rain. Lived in Riverside , this was Edgemont part of Sunnymead , soon (years) to be Moreno Valley.
1:52:22 ... The blue & red car (#67) is Buddy Arrington's Dodge Mirada. The only Chrysler Corporation product in the field. R.I.P, Buddy.
Great racing 👍
It sounds like Cale Yarborough is saying Waldrip instead of Waltrip when referring to DW
I was there. I was a SCCA flagger.
And it was the Season Finale from 1982 to 1986
For those watching these races dark, it's bad to list the winner on the Title, what's the point of watching a 3 hour race if I already know the winner.
Bill doing it to them in a year old 82 t bird.nascar up load the whole dam 85 winston 500 you guys have the film of that race I'm shure
Cool upload!
Those were the days when after the race in celebration drivers would start slamming beers with a smile on their face.
Bill done it so did Chase
I forgot how scary the no pit road speed was back then. Yikes
@@randyjohnson6845 someone died
@@randyjohnson6845 They should've realized long before then they needed one.
Ricky Rudd was the driver who hit Mike Rich.
Dave Despain always the professional.
Hey, Cale was pretty good as a color commentator.
Turn 6 had water bags inside. Lots of them. I saw them a lot as we always went to turn 6.
This field was thinner than I would have historically thought.
Why don't they have that track on a videogame yet?
It's available as DLC for Assetto Corsa
They shouldn't turn RIR into the mall so the last scene from Ford v Ferrari could be filmed properly..
this is great!
Looks like an awesome track, to bad urban sprawl killed it
weird to see them filling up on the right side
Im too young for Riverside CA so I'm gonna watch this race. Also what date was this race? It clearly at the end of the season.
why did you put who won the race in the title? I didnt want to know !
Back when racers raced instead of wrecked
Ken is screaming so loud his voice is dying hahah
You told us the ending ... it's not a race anymore...it's a bunch of cars doing race moves!
Track limit's, maybe COTA should watch this race !!!
Pole!
Damn if these older models don't seem to have more durability and speed than today's models;
This is straight cool. And that is not even counting the fact that it is real racing not the anti racing downforce and other bs that is claimed to be racing we get nowadays.
Can someone tell me what car Bill Elliott was driving? Because it doesn’t look like any of the thunderbirds being driven that day

It's a year old 82 tbird.watch the 83 Daytona 500 elliott run 2nd to cale in a year old 82 tbird.the thing that makes the eliot's so amazing the ford motor company put their money in other teams instead of the elliot's an they still spanked their asses

Absolutely stupid this racetrack is no more 😑
Gee, I wonder who's gonna win this race? Oh, Thanks Nascar........Seriously, did they same person who came up with competition yellows name your videos?
1:27:27 fontana?
Why would you put the winner in the description
Pokable? Never knew there was a track called Pokable.
Pocono
1:44:05 Is this "Rick Ware" the same Rick Ware that own RWR?
Yes it is. 1983 California Sports Car Club Rookie of the Year.
2:01 Red flag yet work is being done to Waltrip's car. Was the rule different then?
Rip
The light bar on that pace car looks big time out of place.

@Oscar jr Jimenez NASCAR's BIGGEST mistake was moving away from the tracks (Riverside Not included bc NASCAR left bc Riverside was being torn up to build more housing development) but Rockingham and North Wilksboro, NASCAR made the mistake of leaving the tracks that produced the best racing bc SMI could sell more tickets at offer tracks... I bet they had that one back!
Hindsight is 20/20.
@@sludge4125 And stupidity is forever.
2:09:44 a young Michael Waltrip
It wasn't Michael..Darrell was racing
Hannah Parizo standing in the background is Michael dumbass

daytona 2020 full races please
Million Dollar Bill just a couple years later 😁
Tim Richmond lost this race by abusing his tires too much, while trying to expand his lead over Waltrip and Parsons. He over-heated them and 'used them up'. That's why Waltrip suddenly caught back up with a few laps to go, then was able to get under Richmond going into turn nine. Watch how much smoother Waltrip, Parsons, and Elliot all were compared to Richmond.
Tim was fast and exciting, maybe the fastest of all Cup drivers at that time, over one or two laps. But over the course of an entire race, you have to take care of the tires. It's not as easy as it sounds. But it's one of the main keys to winning championships and achieving 'greatness'.
You think I will sit & watch14 ads when we spend hundred$ to go to one race or thousansd$ for 4-5 races? Hell no! Nascar too dm greedy!
