Riverside will be the starting location for the 2019 Hemmings Motor News Great Race. This is the first time the city has received this honor.
The Great Race is an old car rally that will travel from Riverside to Tacoma Washington over nine days. The race will be a time/speed/distance rally. The challenge is to keep the cars in working order and maintaining their positions. The cars will be lined up at one-minute intervals and are scored at secret check points along the route. Over $150,000 will be given to top winners in various divisions. Cars and teams from England, Australia and Japan will participate this year.
The vintage automobiles from 1974 as far back as 1913 will be on display along Mission Inn Avenue a few days before the race begins. Some to look for will be the 1913 Cadillac, 1917 Peerless Green Dragon and the car from the “Blues Brothers” movie the 1974 Dodge Monaco sedan. The oldest entry will be the 110-year-old Buick owned by the Holland family.
Over 100 autos will take part. Each car will have a navigator and a driver. Car aficionados will surely take lots of pictures of their favorite entries and get them to local Print shops for poster printing or the Stationery printers to be made into personal Stationery and Letterheads.
The first car will leave town at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 22nd.
