1966 Can Am Stardust part 1

Highlights from the last race of the first season of Can-Am, 1966. Drivers include: Mark Donohue, Chris Amon, John Surtees, Phil Hill, Dan Gurney, Parnelli Jones, Jackie Stewart, Bruce McLaren and Jim Hall. Love those big wing Chaparrals.

The Stardust Raceway is now the upscale, and gated, housing development known as "Spanish Trail" between Hacienda and Tropicana Avenues in Las Vegas . . . well, actually it is located in the unincorporated township of _Spring Valley_ Nevada in Clark County.

Some genuine giants in those wonderful sounding cars.

The old Can-Am was the best.

Yep - you could see international stars such as McLaren, Gurney, Amon, Hulme, G.Hill, Surtees etc at Non-F1 races in North America. In those days drivers had to work every weekend to earn a decent living and as there were only something like 8 or 9 F1 races per year, many F1 stars would be driving in other series. Sadly nowadays, its really rare to see a driver appear in more than one racing series,

Awesome. I was 8 years old and these cars and drivers were my favourites. Man, I never knew the wing on the Chapparal was adjustable. ( see 2:04 - 2:06) Still gives me goose bumps.

These race cars actually sounded like race cars. Not so much in F1 these days.

[@PeterMayer]

[@Dogman36]

Ha! they banned the Chapparal for having that wing and now look!
