...on September 3, 1967.

Absolute fabulous picture.

Safety standards were somewhat different then, I guess!

I was there, what a great place. Had a 1967 VW Bettle, was before I moved to California, and got involved in working the races.

Terrific photo, Rob!

While I never saw the Big Guys run at Elkhart Lake, I did get to see 'em at Riverside, Las Vegas, Bridgehampton and Road Atlanta, so hardly consider myself shortchanged. Even F1 didn't stir my soul the way those cars/drivers did. Really scary stuff; really wonderful memories.

Hard to realize it was so long ago...

Nothing will ever replace the original CanAm. I only got to see a few races (Riverside, Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta) but I will never forget them.

Wow!

1967 must be right, with the pair of M6As up front.
So, that would be an early incarnation of 2G (rather than a 2E) mid-field.
I don't think there was a CanAm round (or, consequently, any 2Es) there in '66.

Thanks to Martin Krejcis homepage http://wsrp.wz.cz/canam.html, I'm pretty sure it's 1967. By his account the front row is #4 Bruce McLaren and #5 Denny Hulme, fifth row #66 Jim Hall (and a 2G) and #11 Lothar Motschenbacher.

Yep, that's Moss. He was the Can-Am spokesperson and from the looks of it, the defacto pace driver.


Too bad we'll probably never see an "unrestricted" class of racing like Can-Am again. Makes you wonder what sort of machinery those regulations would produce in this day and age.

Don - I don't think that is a Z-28 - but it is an SS and judging from the hood bulge it likely has the 396 'porcupine' engine fitted. I drove quite a few of those Camaros of that era and while the Z-28's were the nicest - the 396 SS had more pure 'go' than any of them. It was too big a lump to be very fast off the line, but from 60 to 120 mph it was as fast as anything I have ever driven. As in take your breath away fast! The 396 also had pronounced understeer and was a handful on real twisty roads and lanes - but on fast bends the understeer was OK and on the right road that car was as much fun as you could have. Anyway - that's how I remember it!

September 3, 1967 - the opening round of the second year of Can-Am

I have always asumed that the late starting of 1966, could be down to a late start of the organisation of the series.

But why was the second edition of the series so late in the year?

1967, the first year of the Chevrolet Camaro.

Mike,

I looked but did not see.... :blush:

Yes, that has got to be one of the SS 396 cars and if that is indeed a Michigan license plate, it may have been one prepared to be a tad "special" by the friendly folks at the General Motors Chevrolet Division.... My cousin was the Chevy Guy in the family -- okay, my uncle had a dealership so perhaps that was a bit of an influence.... Tom had a very nice Z-28 which he kept forever and several years ago bought back his Dad's SS 396 to go with the the Malibu SS 396 and 454's he has in the garage.

Mike & Don,

Yes that might very well be a special car... note the Lexan hood scoop and what appears to be an early edition of the Pontiac style hood tach - those fog/driving lamps look to be add-ons as well. I wonder what happened to all those cars? I suppose many were wrapped around the local trees by sons of the corporate owners.

When you think about talent in driving, we are looking at cars with 500 plus hp on tap and quite wide for the tarmac of the day. It must have taken real nerve and skill with side-by-side racing, flying down the back straight, through the kink, the most scary part of that track at well over 160.

Jesper



The CanAm grew out of the traditional fall series of road races in the U.S. and Canada that evolved in the late 50's and grew in importance in to the early 60's. It was - creating a series I mean to say - to an extent media driven. There was an unofficial Can Am series in 1965 but I can't think just now without looking it up which publication was hyping it. Could have been Car&Driver or maybe it was Competition Press. But the point here - and the answer to your question - is that it was originally conceived as formalizing the major fall races in to a series. And, of course, the name CanAm became magic and, among other things, cars that in their day were referred to as Group 7 cars - are now almost exclusively referred to as "Can Am' cars. The same cars - for the most part (at least the domestic teams) - were also running in the USRRC which covered the earlier part of the year. But Can Am was magic as a marketing brand and all the organizers wanted one. And so the USRRC was ultimately rolled in to the Can Am to create a series that encompassed more than the fall races. But, no, it wasn't because the series was late in being organized.

I don't know what the deal was at Elkhart Lake or elsewhere but at Watkins Glen we had cars from Ford through 1967 and Chevrolet Division of GM beginning in 1968. When the cars would go back at the end of the year they would first be offered to my father at an attractive price. And sometimes he would buy them because, as Richard suggests, some of them were very special indeed. But, no, I only wrapped one or two around trees - to say 'many' is just not fair!

The following year I moved to California, and married a girl who had a 67 Camaro RS/SS with the 350. The paint was the same as this pace car, and it was a convert. It was fast, but my heart was in another place, and I sold it to get a BMW 1600. The Camaro was fast, but we could get from LA to Vegas faster in the BMW. As some might remember there was no speed limit in Nevada at the time, and you could make good time in California if you watched your mirrors!
The BMW would cruise at just under 100, the Camaro would run quite a bit faster, but not nearly as stable at speed, seemed to "float" or "wander". Also had to stop for gas in the Chevy.
Anybody else remember the shift linkage on these things.? Should have bought a Hurst, but the stock linkage would bind up, and you had to take a 1/2 inch wrench and free up the rods, and move them on the trans, then tighten it back up.
I thought it was pretty cool, even so, then I went up to Mullholland Drive one afternoon. The Porsche 1600's, and BMW's killed me, then the linkage fell off!
Now the sad part. Sold that car for about 1300.00 in 1969, to get another BMW. Sure wish I had kept it when you look at the current value. I do still have the original dealer warranty card for that car, here somewhere.

Mike and Don, That was indeed a " special " Camaro It was a GM styling unit on Loan. Somewhere I have a article on that car , Ill see if I can find it. That has to be the best track in the USA .A wonderful era of racing that I am involved with today, preserving some of the cars and memories of those who ran and drove them.

On the general subject of Can-Am, does anyone know if there is a website anywhere that has a copy of the regulations used at the time? Ive always heard about how thin the rule book was, but wouldnt mind checking it out for myself.

And Im still living in hope that someone has in car footage from some of those beasts....I doubt it of course, but hope springs eternal!

Photos were taken at Road America during the Can-Am 30th Reunion celebration in 1996.

After driving the car, Mario supposedly told Paul Newman that Paul should drive and they should put Mario's name on the nose. Mario was not fond of the Honker II.

Not sure where Mario is here ?

"Not sure where Mario is here ?"

According to the description at the bottom of the page the snap was taken at Riverside in '67.

Much to my chagrin now, I saw the original CanAm only a few times at Laguna Seca. Seeing those cars there was one of the factors that sucked me into the world of motorsport.

Wasn't a photog then but if you're interested, here's the link to the "new era" snaps I have on flickr. Eventually there will be a lot more.

Does that mean I shouldn't tell you that I have about 3 dozen old champ car pics to upload if I don't fall asleep before I get around to it this evening?

There are some new additions to my photostream, with Can Am being the newest and a few Atlantic in-car, helmet on mug shots. There's F5000 stuff too and a few from right here in Surf City....

These photos of the 1967 Can Am races at Mosport and Road America are fascinating. I have been spending hours sifting through them - and even found a photo of myself!

Photos are by Dave Friedman.
