It was the Bruce &Denny show until Porsche ruined the series with MONEY. But there was competition with all of the other marks. Jim Hall always seemed to come up with some clever invention or development. When money took over the excitement ended. So did CanAm.
@thethirdman2254 жыл бұрын
@@tracylemme1375 What? Can-Am was always about money. You think McLaren didn't throw money at it? This was the series that made them. Porsche was a Roger Penske team, funded by him with factory support, rather than a factory team. Can Am was never a very even series, even when it was attracting top-tier US and European drivers. The McLaren years were a total domination, reminiscent of 1973, except that it went on for _years._ So I don't know where you get this idea that Porsche ruined it. I think you must have been watching something else.
@ibast14 жыл бұрын
Mythology. The reality is Mclaren set the formula up for himself and thus dominated. When the 917s got going Bruce pulled the pin, rather than lose to them, and the whole series collapsed. Just look at he above race and compare it to the classic races at Goodwood. The above was pretty boring really.
@thethirdman2254 жыл бұрын
Mee Ibast Honestly, how do people come to these conclusions? By the time Porsche arrived, Bruce McLaren had been dead for two years. Secondly, it didn’t stop there and then. There was still a Can-Am series for 1974, won by Jackie Oliver in a Shadow. And it was still a big American V8.

I was a corner marshal here on Ontario Canada back in the late 60"s early 70"s at Mosport and in Quebec at St.Jovite. This was the best racing you could get. I watched Denny Hume put his gloves on after the bad burns he sustained and I was in tears watching him put his helmet on. A true competitor ! At at the track in Quebec I was at corner 8 from their it was a straight run up to the last corner before the front strait. their was a hump half way before the front strait many cars were air born what a sight. the sound was music to my ears....Thankyou..

Late reply, but these cars are among the Shadows owned by Jim Bartel out of Michigan. He also has at least one Shadow formula 5000 You can see Craig in the formula 5000 running at Monterey if you search for Monterey historic 2018. It's a great bit of F5000 footage. In the video we see here, Craig has only recently returned to driving after being horribly injured in the DN4 Can am car in 2016. As you probably know one of these cars was involved in a huge accident last month ( riverside I think ) where the car flipped at 180 mph or something. Jim was luckier than Craig and got out virtually unscathed.

Even the 6 cylinder Porsche beat the McClaren. These cars were also not made for a track like that. Nice to see them but they only really covered the two Shadows the entire race. If they want to protect the cars, maybe just do interesting time trials. It was really cool to see Lewis Hamilton drive Aryton Sena's old car. These cars take real skill.

I watched these cars fired in anger throughout the Can-Am years at Watkins Glen. In the hands of fierce competitors like Denny Hulme and Sir Jackie Stewart, the races were mesmerizing. Standing at then turn 10, Hulme would come sliding around, nick the grass and kick up dust, then leave two monster black stripes as he disappeared like a rocket down the front straight. The pulses from the exhaust were like a punch in the sternum. All the while, they were often within a couple feet of each other. It's not like that now, but sure is great to see and hear these cars in action again.

The whole organization especially RM Motorsports in Wixom Mi. who is in mine and many others opinions one of the finest facilities that fabricates, maintains, services , and preps just about any type of race car is all wonderful caring people. We felt like family with them. The two brothers Craig and Kirt Bennett who won and placed 2nd in this race are AMAZING drivers. They both started with go karts many years ago and can drive anything and drive it fast. Was really cool watching this video. If I remember correct Craig said he never raced this track before in a car but spent some time on his Xbox or play station practicing it. You’d never know that seeing how he did there but then again they both are very talented drivers and I’m sure after a few practice laps had their lines figured out. My son and I hope to see them again at a race soon it’s always a memorable experience hanging out with them. Even though it was a lot of hard work it was fun work.

The announcers were wrong when they said there were no fakes in the line-up. The blue and gold #2 in the back of the pack is a "nut and bolt" reproduction of the one-off Alan Mann car built by Holman Moody. It ran a 428 Shot Gun. The owner of the reproduction car also owns the original. The original raced only three times and then was parked in the back of the Holman Moody facility. One of the employees bought it a few years later and stashed it in a small shed in the middle of a zebra corral and boarded it up. A few years ago he sold it to the present owner. It was completely as raced, only it was dusty and the rear wing was missing. The reproduction was created as it was felt that the one-off original was to valuable to vintage race. Both cars are now for sale as a set as I understand.

Great cars - but who were the clowns commentating, 'woah, like no 63 ..' Shadow, 'Maclaren.. Brotherly love.. What! No specs, no history.. you bring some of the greatest cars ever raced together and we have a couple of uninformed dorks, as the commentators.. What a shame.

Very very very cool cars but not really racing though. More like "competitive Sunday drive".

Watching the two Shadows going at is like, watching twin Superman brothers going at it, one is quicker and the other one is meaner.

That is the longest formation lap that I have ever seen in all of the various forms or motor racing. Over five minutes.
