Road America Historic Vintage Can Am Racing 2006 Part 1

2006 40th Anniversary of 1966-74 SCCA Can Am at Road America

[@kenanderson5240]

Saw all the Can-Ams at RA in the '60s and '70s, and now live about 20 minutes from the track. The July Vintage weekend is a highlight for me every summer, when I can see and hear some of these magnificent beasts once again. Nothing like the Can-Am before or since!

Boy, did I enjoy this! Great coverage of wonderful machinery, thanks!

[@XCougar85X]

Such an amazing field of cars. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@jamesaron1967]

Those cars are very beautiful.

[@Racer_Mike87]

Love these videos. Thanks

Im sure this series was the inspiration for Those Wacky Racers cartoon. I loved this series as a kid and miss the no stops attitude and all the independants up against the legends.

I go to road America every year for the BR vintage car weekend just to see these

Multiple microphones did not survive the terror of the CanAm engines.. :D

Nothing like an all aluminum big block chevy behind your head

[@jlalbee]

Good LORD! How many cars qualified for this race?

[@MrHayoo22]

Hang on, that onboard camera cut off that glorious start

I think we’ve seen the last of these cars unfortunately. After JP had that freak backflip on the front straight, I think it scared away all the entries. Nobody wants to conquer the track in these beasts anymore

[@barrycuda3769]

Who's jp? What back flip?

I've sometimes wondered why Chrysler didnt seem to be involved in can am 'I imagine a no holds barred hemi might have dominated. Mopar generally dominated if they participated.

The black McLaren M8F (#16) belonged to Chuck Lamb....

[@roywinchel3620]

Sorry but I don't think any of these drivers are close to the drivers who actually raced these cars

An 18:50 video on CanAm racing, and the first 8 minutes is crap. So much for high performance, eh ???
