From time to time, event organizers make the mistake of asking me to speak or MC at their event. You can’t really blame them, they don’t know any better. The most recent example of this poor judgment was the second annual Riverside Reunion, held here in Southern California.
I was asked by the organizers to come out and moderate an evening program that would honor many of the famous drivers from Riverside Racecway’s history who are sadly no longer with us. Included in this tribute would be such names as Richie Ginther, Dave McDonald, Ronnie Bucknum and Phil Hill. Relatives of each driver would be in attendance and so it would be my job to lead a discussion about each, with the family and the several hundred racing legends and guests in attendance. No pressure.
