Hi Glenn, Thanks for your note. It’s fun to have those boyhood memories, isn’t it? Riverside Park was a very famous place among race fans back in the day. Astroworld was quite the place as well. Thanks for sharing. Randy

Loved the rides, entertainment area (pin ball machines, carnival games, food), and I recall the raceway. I believe it was a dirt track at the time configured for figure 8 racing and a destruction derby. What great memories! We moved to the Houston Texas area in 1974 and enjoyed astroworld until it went downhill and closed in 2005.
