They were true 500 mile races on a road course that averaged less than 100 mph per lap. Long hard day! The 68 win was Dan's fifth and final Riverside 500 win. Model ia a modified Polar Lights kit of a 69 Talladega back dated to a 68 Torino. Grill and front bumper are resin pieces from The Modelhaus, Ford emblem removed from grill. Paint is Tamiya Pure White and Tamiya Dark Mica Blue. Decals are from the latest Powerslide Wood Brothers sheet.
