FERRARI 512 S SPYDER, 1970 CAN-AM, EDMONTON start up

Ferrari and Chinook start up in the paddock at 2019 Edmonton Castrol Raceway NASCC WCMA. It takes a while for the Ferrari to get it going but well worth the wait.

[@kdedesko]

I went to the 1971 can am at Mont Tremblant. Stewart won it in an L&M Lola. Revson and Hulme were in the M8Fs. Jackie Oliver in the Shadow. Been in love with motor racing ever since

[@gimmigota1]

Love these old race cars. Their exhaust pipes sounds are music.

[@oldman7452]

If they can hear it coming, they can get the hell out of the way! Awesome sounds from some serious exotic race cars.

[@evilelf5967]

there's something about these old school beasts.....when they were started....you knew there was evil intentions coming from the sound of those cylinders kicking it.

[@flstffatboy3910]

Such a beautiful sound

[@markwilliams5606]

Music to my ears!.

[@Mocking69]

I like the exhaust sound ♪

[@petrstuntbiker885]

Great sound 👍👍👌💪💪💪

[@zikamano4847]

amazing cars and sound

[@doms467]

It went from nothing to full noise so suddenly. It sounded great on the track

[@halfassedgaragecanada5246]

Those cars each made a very unique noise

[@jinxbottleflip1942]

That's because it wasn't running (no noise) then it started running (noise)

[@MONKMIKE]

Ahhh that build up of antisapation to Boom I'M Alive.. 👍👍😎

[@coldlakealta4043]

Can-Am racing was the best series ever. I chased them anywhere within a 12-hour drive of Toronto. We got 2 races a year here at the old Mosport track. My favourite track was Mont Tremblant up in Quebec. The cars were monstrous. loud and unbelievably fast. Eventually, the Bruce and Denny show with their great cast of international drivers like Dan Gurney and Chris Amon was destroyed by the stupendous and stupid spending by Porsche. Total shame.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

100% agree and 200% on Porsche.

[@halfassedgaragecanada5246]

I am putting up some video of the 1982 Can Am race in Edmonton in a week or so. They are impressive in action

[@billkea7224]

Coldlake Alta You are correct on both points.

[@jerrylarson723]

Yes yes the best of the best

[@hotdog9262]

the 917 was a le mans car modified for can am. so what stupid spending are you talking about. the main reason porsche won was it had turbo charging and the opposition did not. also due to being in a series with heavy restrictions previously, the car was optimized throughout for weight savings, and the flat 12 gave it a low centre of gravity

[@robertodalbosco8861]

dopo 50 anni quel ferrovecchio di ferrari avrà le ragnatele nei pistoni.Sempre fantastico il 12 cilindri!

[@aussieflyer70]

It always amuses me when i see videos of these expensive cars and it almost takes a miracle and a PHD to get them started lol, my $21,000 LS1 V8 starts first pop......lol

[@halfassedgaragecanada5246]

And that is why so many ls were built. Most can am cars have American big block engines. Cheap, strong and powerful

[@ronloomis8245]

Big noise boys and crazy can-am cannons!

[@porksboy]

I can smell the exhaust from here. I miss it.

[@CesareSpina-i9b]

Sound che sa di storia Unicamente il piu bello il v12 ferrari Ineguagliabile ❤❤😅

[@jordanpreexisting224]

Some say the man in the red shirt is still pushing to this day…..

Push yourself our of the window and let's see if you keep going after.

Funny part of the old "LeMans start" was how many times those guys ran to their cars only to not be able to get them started!

[@francescoferrarese4737]

What a Monster!!!

[@neildavies43]

There's something visceral about these older, mechanical race cars have that modern computer-controlled vehicles don't quite have...

[@SatchelMcQueenVideo]

yep. i have a 70 maverick with a 302 and open headers. its raw power and you feel everything about it in your body and head. very addictive stuff.

[@danturpening5773]

I love the size of these too. So efficient. I know they're dangerous as f..., but really, they make modern race cars look like school buses.

[@russthomson6168]

yeah I had an Italian car that started like that

[@jools182]

amazing

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Glorious.Hard to fire up tho

[@daveleighton4683]

By the time that's started, I would have done two laps in my diesel vw station wagon.

[@stefanschulte1]

It took a while, but damn. 😍😍

[@marcherrmann2772]

At least it started with the oil pump primed

[@poly_hexamethyl]

1:13 Why do they plug the battery in from outside? Is it so they don't have to carry the extra weight in the car?

[@halfassedgaragecanada5246]

Correct assumption

[@kylegumbert6816]

Wowza!!!!

[@caturlifelive]

Awesome..! 😍 Why did that person need to push red and white cars sir?

[@halfassedgaragecanada5246]

These cars have high speed gearing and to save the expensive clutch they give the car a push

[@markrussell9088]

Why does the "lacky" have to push it when they've spent an hour trying to start it?

[@AxelP33]

Is this Jay's car ? I see the Chinook and his Camaro too

[@halfassedgaragecanada5246]

Yes

[@terrywallace2171]

A well tuned car will fire right up, not needing 5 guys to ask if fuel pump is on . The driver isnt stupid. But thats a baddass car either way.

Very nice sounding engines,whats with 1 guy pushing the first one out. But yes Awesome sounding engines,I bet they rev quick.👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤🙂🙂🙂😉😉😉Best wishes,Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all,from,Auckland,New Zealand.😉😉😉

[@halfassedgaragecanada5246]

They are more impressive in person. The Ferrari took a while to get started and then took a few minutes to come up to full sone. The noise when it was on the third lap was pretty awesome. Happy New Year to you too from Canada

[@user-tq1zv9hd1o]

racecars have really tiny clutches so it can be pretty tricky to launch them and even trickier to get them rolling so its easier if someone gives it a little push as help

[@terrysellers6712]

ADVANCE timing

[@thiagoemorge]

Não jogou thinner no carburador,por isso não pegou,se desse um trago tinha pego de primeira

[@ProfCalculon]

The Next One (White) is an Lola, right ?!

[@halfassedgaragecanada5246]

That white car is a Chinook. Pretty sure it has Lola development in the genetics from what I recall reading. Fierce sounding car

[@TheDennys21]

Why are they pushing them?

[@acecombatplayer1]

the cars are generally very easy to stall when standing still so having some forward momentum helps to avoid a stall.

[@TheDennys21]

@@acecombatplayer1 why are they easy to stall since they have a lot of power?

[@6_andrescrescent438]

@@TheDennys21 some racing engines don't like operating at very low rpm especially the high revving one

yes thats why this car was the main rival to the 917 in 1970 and won the 12 hours of sebring, because they wanted it to look good, not go fast.

Push to save the expensive clutch on a car with gearing from a high speed track
