1966 Las Vegas Can-Am

Here is the final round from the first season of the 1966 SCCA Can-Am series for Group 7 unlimited sports cars. John Surtees (Lola T70) and Phil Hill (Chaparral 2E)) were tied on points, but there were seven drivers who could win the championship. The star-studded cast for this event included Jackie Stewart, Dan Gurney, Bruce McLaren, Mario Andretti, Denny Hulme, Parnelli Jones, Mark Donohue, Chris Amon, Peter Revson... It was truly world class in what was probably the most closely fought Can-Am seasons of them all.

I worked near the remnants of this track for a few days back in the 80s. There was just enough left to explore, like curbs and a couple of corners.
