Thus if you actually attempted to reproduce a track to the actual layout of Riverside, the box would be 4x bigger, and it would not fit in your livingroom to scale. Yes Riverside never crossed over. The autocross/slalom guys in SCCSCC would get pretty creative, but it wasn't demolition derby. If your track has those cars, then those alone are worth $$$$. The McLaren M1A, and Chaparral 2A (won Sebring 12 Hours), so you have either late 1965/or 1966, the date should be somewhere on the box. These gave us slot car kids the ability to drive and test, tune our cars for the big time, Professional track places. We used to go to Redondo Beach Pier, in a downstairs from the pier level place that had three tracks or out to Buena Park where the guy had two tracks and a drag strip and still open. My Father lost a 1/24 Cox Cheetah, stolen right out of his pit box there in the 1990s. Got to watch your good stuff.

Good information, thanks for verifying that it was Riverside International Raceway that was being depicted.
