LEGENDS of RIVERSIDE II RACING FILM FESTIVAL & LEGENDS GALA MARCH 26,27,28, 2010

Riverside International Automotive Museum Riverside, Calif. Citizens Business Bank Announced as Title Sponsor "Legends of Riverside II" – March 26-28, 2010 Riverside International Automotive Museum President and co-founder Douglas Magnon has announced the addition of a presenting sponsor’s name to the title of this year's Legends of Riverside Film Festival and Gala. Just some of the recognized Legends of Riverside: Dan Gurney • Scooter Patrick • Davey Jordan • Bob Bondurant • John Morton • Elliot Forbes-Robinson • George Keck • Pete Lovely • Oscar Kovaleski • Paul Reinhart • Lothar Motschenbacher • Dave Friedman • Bruce Kessler • Peter Bryant • Dave Wolin • Joe Playan • Jim Jeffords • Chuck Jones• Bill Pollack • Eric Haga •Chic Vandagriff • Jim Dittemore • Joe Leonard Ralph Ormsbee • Tony Adamowicz • Pete Lyons • Doug Hooper • Andy Porterfield • Skeeter McKitterick • Bob Schilling • Linda Vaughn • Jennifer Revson • Tony Settember • Art Evans • Brock Yates • Dick Guldstrand . George Follmer • Howden Ganley • Stuart Forbes- Robinson •Toly Arutunoff • Jerry Grant • Bill Krause • Tom Meehan • Jerry Entin • Tim Considine . Peter Brock • Brett Lunger

“We’re very pleased to have Citizens Business Bank onboard as our presenting sponsor for this year’s event. This community-minded institution has been a great partner for us at the Museum and to the Magnon Companies as well. And now they’ve have become a member of our annual ‘Legends’ event family,” said Magnon. Started in 1974 out of a single office in Chino, Citizens Business Bank is a top-rated financial institution with over $6.7 billion in assets. The Bank concentrates on delivering the finest in financial products and services through relationship banking commitments with businesses and professionals in the Inland Empire, Los Angeles County, Orange County and the Central Valley regions of California. “Doug Magnon is a valued partner of CBB. He has assembled an all-star group to participate in this celebration. We are proud to be a part of the special event,” said Chris Meyers, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Legends event premiered last year at the Riverside Museum to great “reviews” from all of the attendees and featured great stars of motoracing, great motoracing-themed films, great food, and great guests who had the time of their lives reminiscing about some of the best (and least) -known moments both on and off the raceway, as told by the people who lived them. Part party, part reunion and all up-close-and-personal, the Museum only makes a very limited number of tickets available for this event each year. “We designed and built this event specifically for the deep-rooted Riverside fan. Our fan base is international, the Raceway meant so much to so many,” Magnon explained, “Many of our attendees watched races at Riverside but, interestingly enough, almost an equal number never had the chance to go there before it closed in 1988. At our event, there’s really no way to tell the difference, everyone’s a total fan of the place and the people, and everyone is drawn to their stories.” This year the great Carroll Shelby will be honored at a Saturday night gala that will also feature a number of the people who worked with this true racing legend on cars like the Cobra and who helped to finally put the Ford Motor Company into the winner’s circle at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As mentioned above tickets for this charity event are limited. A maximum of 250 will be printed for this event, when they are gone, the event is sold-out.
