Funny how a car can trigger memories.The mid 80's saw a lot of these big iron cars go to the local 1/4 mile oval race track. Sometimes over 100 cars would go 2 hours or 200 laps, which ever happened first. A friend had a Riv like this and I had an Impala wagon. He lost his brakes and slammed into me on a red flag for an on-track fire. My neck hurt for 3 months. I asked why he hit me and he replied "I didn't want to hit someone I didn't know." He later bought a Triumph Legend after driving my TBS, but sadly died from a bicycle accident a few years ago. I miss you, buddy.
