From our award-winning 'Wheels' series of documentaries narrated by Bill Stephens, 'The Lost Race Tracks' tells the story of three forgotten race tracks, Riverside International (57-89), Ascot Park (57-90), and the original Watkins Glen road course.
This documentary tells their story, using eye-witnesses Dan Gurney, Brock Yates, Parnelli Jones, and John Fitch talk about their experiences and history of these Lost Race Tracks.
Using rarely-seen footage from the 1950s, it’s a snapshot in time, before safety took precedence over tradition. And it’s a must-see for all who love motorsports.
** Correction **
22:05 The video incorrectly states that Parnelli Jones won the Indy 500 in 1962. Because of a bad brake line, he placed 7th in 1962. He came back to win the 500 in 1963.
