That was an interesting mix of vehicles Matt passed on the way back t the front - including the unexpected '64 Studebaker Daytona!

The tiny silver car is much faster

Thanks for the video. Ive played it over and over lesrning the track. I live 10 mins away and I'm doing HPDE 2-3 In March

I REALLY wish iRacing would bring CanAm racing to their service. What a thrill, even if it's digital, to be behind the wheel of one those monsters machines

Wow! What are these cars using for brakes!?

Those must have been the days. Taking your muscle car to a Can-Am race. A series with little regulations, huge engines, huge power, huge noise, limitless innovations to be discovered, and unpredictability in mechanical or driver. Then it was gone. I was born in the wrong era.

Wonderful film with great commentary, and we are fortunate to be able to view it. Sure wish the owners of these cars still brought them out for vintage racing here in the East. FWIW, #32 identified late in the film as a Lola is probably a Lotus 11 or 15.

love f1 cars 🏁🕺💕🏎️

Awesome stuff!!! Go Bacon! @Corvette-Dan

Mkll or lll GT40. 🫡

I have been around racing since I was a kid, 1960s. What is the yellow Elan looking car with tha Alfa logo? Maybe I am braincramping, but ..

I attended all of these Trans Am races and they were great fun. But cheaters like R. Penske make the sport have a very bad image. He cheated massively probably on all his races throughout his life. sad !

❤

I’m sure my Grandad (Peter Emery) would have been excited and proud to see the car still racing!

Ahhh. The last of the real American Auto Racing. I was a boy with a year or two before I got my drivers license. Watch as the pony cars of Detroit punched it out on road courses across America. Today’s racing is just so sanitized and corrupted with big money. Then as you can see in this video. Raw talent and shoestring budgets brought out the best racing ever. SCCA Trans-Am racing was a nitch in time. Now all we have are the memories of what was an awesome time to witness live in real time. When Detroit ruled and young boys dreamed of owning a piece of that pie. I lived in NASCAR country NC. But even I understood what a great platform SCCA had.

Good to see a Camaro winning in 1970 since Penske switched with Javelin that year. I attended the Mont-Tremblant race this same year.

Followed Bob since his very successful Nissan GTU times, then racing our vintage Datsun 510s. Always enjoy sharing stories every chance we get...great man!

Hey that’s Bacon Bob! 🥓 🤣

The. Canadian American Cup with race cars ,including bigblocks with a displacement of 427 to 530 ci. The sound of these cars is amazing The output. of these was betwenn

Love watching this class race, c3 are plentiful and they are not bashful when it comes to doing a little rubbing. Definitely not a parade lap race lol

Is that Linda Vaughn, "Miss Hurst", at 4:20? I saw Linda at the Winternationals drag race in Pomona back in the 70's.

What a lovely film, calmly and informatively delivered by the commentator. So much better than the forced hysteria of modern commentry. I wish I had a barn in which I could find a Can-Am car, it was the best formula ever and no racing car is ever going to look or sound better again.

Such a great era… girls were not obese as they are today

The E-Type of course

An Alpha actually won the first road race through the village/country side in 1948.

oh this brings back memories. used to watch them in the late 80's early 90s there. its how i caught the racing bug.

It said built a dinosaur. It was a modern Camaro.

Lap 39 !!!

This is probably the fastest Daimler sports car in the World. Over my lifetime around sports car racing and out in the World I have seen maybe only two stock versions.

This is probably the fastest, most sophisticated vintage Daimler sports car in the world. I saw several stock Daimlers in my lifetime but no race cars. Very interesting cars.

Car race on a golf course?. What happen to the golfers?.

this is _incredible_

Best driving video ever! Just a master class of perfection getting from point A to B on a race track!

The guy claiming these are exactly what was raced back in the day is not being honest. A lot of parts are just not available. I watched an interview with a guy who prepared some of these cars. There are some significant differences. Availability of engine blocks and heads was a serious concern. These cars are running much newer parts. The safety cages are much better. The brakes are better. In some cases the engine is a larger displacement. The focus was more on providing track performance that was on par with the cars that were raced back when, while making the cars safer and easier to control on track and more reliable. These are "new" race cars with reproduction sheet metal. The right brand of engine under the hood and a transmission of the same type that was used. The overall configuration is the same. The drivers are instructed to be courteous and safe and run the cars at about nine tenths. Contact between cars should be avoided as much as possible. Bump passing is not allowed. Spirited driving with all the glorious sounds of racing is the order of the day.

Can anyone give me info on Jeff Jones, he raced trams am as private owned team.. He ran scca for 30 plus years. He was my cousin and has since passed.

This is why there are no electric car races...

My favourite race weekend at Mosport.

Need to braking much later, and holding the RPM steady through the corners. It seems like a nervous habit that's slowing you down and upsetting the drivetrain. I also noticed that I think your close ratio trans isn't a good choice this track. You seem to run out of gear/motor at the end of longer portions, a wide ratio trans and a little less rear gear would be a help.

Insulated from the action and constant talking

Love this Series !!!!!! Thank you

Sat there waiting for for iroc and they never showed it😢

That was the time to be American, early 70's

Wow. Was that the first "fan car"?

hailie deegan

when i was a kid i was a passenger in hamish moffats 35b bugatti on many occassions,it used to sit in the garage showroom in between races in north wales where hamish lived

Nice

I’ve had my 1969L 71 Corvette for 55 years. In my humble opinion, these are still one of the best looking cars ever produced. Mine is still fairly original with the 32 barrel holly carburetors, 427 in.² inch and 435 hp Motors bumped up to around 520. It truly is old-school and even at 77 years old, it’s still the most fun car to drive that I’ve ever owned and that’s why I’ve kept it all these years.

If only Herbie was in this
