1982 HSCRS Winston Western 500 Starting Grid

Two years ago, I kicked off the Historical Stock Car Racing Forum's offline league with a starting grid video introducing the forum members who would compete for the title in wonderfully-rendered 1982 Winston Cup cars:

Here now is the sequel, setting the stage for the league's season finale at none other than Riverside International Raceway --- with driver photos! Big thanks to Seb for compiling the screenshots and statistics used in the production of this grid!

The 1983 HSCRS season is coming up soon; stay tuned to the forums at http://simracin40.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=leagues for details! (You must register to the forums to see the page).

[nadeau1064]

@NrdsWthGns #70-Baptistbravesfan won the season championship the week before at Atlanta; #87-Mobil1fan won this Riverside race over #88-pippy.

but the 1983 HSCRS isn't posted yet, so I had to like wait. And by the way is choosing the car number possible?

[nadeau1064]

@sharpbelydz500 Yeah, it's not posted at the forums yet, but the person in charge of the series told me sign-ups will be coming in the next few weeks.

Selecting a car number is based on one's rankings in the 1982 standings, so I'm afraid new entrants can only pick from the cars that remain. There were a ton of teams in 1983, though, so you should still have good ones to select from.

Great job and great grid. ¿This track is very similar of the Sonoma track?

[nadeau1064]

There are some similarities, nascarvan, but Riverside was a much faster road course with longer straightaways and a ton more runoff in the Esses. "The Chute" that is used in place of the carousel at Sonoma is also inspired by Riverside.

A really fun track, for sure; it's a crying shame that it no longer exists.

@nadeau1064 1983 season underway, and very close for the season to end...

[AutoRockinRacing94]

@nadeau1064 I'm new to this series, in fact I just register, can you inform me how to enter for the '83 season?

[vracer88]

I just noticed the "Lastcar" logo at the end, with the #66 car. I think I get it, because that car always finishes last (start and parking).

[ElCaminoBilly]

Awesome job, Brock! Hate that I had to wait to the very end with that dang 3rd DNQ but I liked the extra touch, AND you pronounced my hometown correctly...something most people don't do! :)

[MrJoe53]

Awesome...love the music...very good for the era...you rock

[SimRacin14]

I'm kinda partial to the Daytona 500 intros,since we have the music they used for most of the years.
