The race was August 26 1973. Mark won both 100mi heat races. I was there. Watched from Fireman’s Hill.

Mark Donohue gets some quality smoochin' @ 6:22

I was not at this race, but I was at the round before this at Brainerd in 1978 watching essentially the same group of cars. That Greg Pickett Corvette still looks extreme over 40 years later.

Hello, we would like to use a footage of this home movie shot at Martha's vineyard in our french tv documentary about the movie "Jaws". May you give me your approval please? Regards from Paris.

We vacationed there from 1984 - 1992 & then in 1994. Great place. So many good memories. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for posting! 1977 Can Am Road America was a tremendous race to see in person.

What a gem! The ambience of Can-Am racing in a late summer outing with family, this is home moviemaking at its finest.

Ahhh, wish there was sound, but great video anyways. Thanks.

1978 Trans Am Road America as a twin heat affair. Greg Pickett 1st Cat 2 Greenwood Corvette SuperVette 427 ci. 2nd Tuck Thomas Dekon Monza 350 CI 1st Cat 2 Bob Tullius Group 44 Jaguar XJS. Bob complained about twin heat rules, because fear of losing lead from 1st heat. Watched individual car standing start by Old Pagoda at Road America. Was amazing and ground shaking to watch Supervette blast off into woods back then at Road America. Heimrath single turbo Porsche 935 broke on 2nd lap and Pickett ran away and hid.

This was the first race I went to at RA. I was hooked on Can Am ever since!

Was so happy to find your video. You captured my dad and sister going over the dam at the 0:58 mark of your video. Thanks for posting.

I was here last year

in these waters, this year, john wayne gacy tossed 4 corpses of boys into this river, you might as well have canooed over them.

Judging from Greg Pickett in the No. 6 Corvette, it’s 1978. Great video!

Fuck Roger for bringing in the turbo Porsche. Killed the Can-Am.

My god, those cars! I'm 67 and have been involved in some form of racing all my life, but these and the Group 7 cars of that era are my ultimate favorites. The pace laps of the Can Ams at Elkhart were something. If you were in the paddock when they went down the back straight between Turn 3 and Turn 5, it sounded like a squadron of B-36's coming through the woods. :-) OMG, I just noticed at 1:02, the Wag Am! This started as something that the crews were doing after the last flag of the day. The Radio Flyer wagons were used to haul tires back and forth between the paddock and the tire busters, and somebody got the bright idea (alcohol was undoubtedly involved) to race the wagons down the hill towards Turn 14. Many spills ensued, but soon, racers being racers, they were showing up with hand built "wagons" with tube frames and tapered roller bearing wheel bearings. At 1:02, you have two competing design ideas; extremely skinny tires on plain bearings, and fat tires on roller bearings... They got fast enough that the track had to step in and say, No More!

I had no idea the 917 was run by brumos, white red and blue livery? And another team as well which I have no idea. What a video. The cars are great but seeing Rodger and especially Donahue at the end celebrating a win is priceless stuff.

Great home video! I was at that race,Mark Donohue and the Porsche 917 was AMAZING! I took a great photo of Roger and Mark pushing the Porsche 917 to the starting line.

What an amazing video you've made here!! Such great scenes from a legendary time in US racing. I was there that day, but I was only three, so I don't remember too much about it. Do you have any more videos from Road America?
