If that piece of asphalt could talk...Ken Miles, Pedro and Ricardo Rodriguez, Walt Hansgen, Mark Donohue, Bruce McLaren, and so many others, all long gone...

That's a great idea. I tried to get out to Riverside a couple of years ago, before they tore up the remaining portions of the track, but was not able to fit it into a business trip. I had plans to do the exact same thing, get a chunk of asphalt that I could put in my study. I also planned to try and obtain some from the Bridge a couple of years ago, until I read in a magazine somewhere that the golf course was under construction and was absolutely off limits to the public. I think someone has missed a couple of great marketing opportunities--
