After many serch on the web, i haven't find a COMPLETE site (photos, results, history, ars, drivers, tracks, etc...)on Can-Am. I'm very surprise that nobody have tried to do it . Is anybody knows one ?
I have found many good web site but not exhaustive.

I suppose you know this link but it's a beginning.

On the other hand, there is the Pete Lyons's book ''Can-Am" which is excellent with many
black & white & colours photos, with starting grids & results. It covers Can Am from 1966
through 1974, 268 pages.

:cool:

And there's another good one written by someone named David McKinney...

Some dude named Friedman wrote a nice book about Sportscar Racing, with some excellent information about the Can-Am.

Stephane, try these links, if you have not, already:

http://www.classicsc...canam_home.html

http://www.racingspo...hoto_canam.html

I use both sites, FREQUENTLY.

Can Am sites are really hard to find and suprisingly so.

Very popular in its day and plenty of people with camera's around.

Baffling really.

A good start, Stephane - well done :up:

But it would be even better if you swapped John Cannon's US flag for a Canadian one ;)

Good luck.

the problem i have is that any series that called itself Can-Am after the 1973 season was a poor relation at best....

There is a great znd funny story about the St Jovite Can Am of 1966.

There were two Lola's which happened to fly when cresting the Hump on the back straight. Both cars flipped backwards end over end and both drivers energed without injury.

Where is the humour in that?

Both the drivers, Paul Hawkins and Hugh Dibley had the same day job, they were both airline pilots!

Stephane, your website is a very useful resource. Thank you!

You may be interested to know that there is a "World Can-Am Series" for 1/32nd scale model electric cars (slot cars) about to start, with the first races taking place in Tasmania next week.

Take a look at the SlotForum link -- it also contains lots of information on the full-size Can-Am series.

With kind regards,

Russell
