Apology to the subscribers again. "File Host" time.
Yeah, talking about Shelby Can-Am on one of my FB groups. Realized I had some footage on one of my old movies. They were supposed to be where you moved up after competing in Spec Racer Ford (originally Renault). But at $25K back then, hardly anyone bought one. Wiki's close enough for the history..en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_Can-Am

Episode of Barry Mequire's "Car Crazy", 2003
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.8 лет назад
Yeah, I still think Barry was 'crazy' about more than cars at the time..but damn. Interviews with Shelby, P.J., Bondurant, and Gurney? Worth it. Ol' Shel is right about how drivers' licenses were handed out in the Southern US. I got mine in North Carolina at 15yrs old..and that was in 1977! At least I had to take a road test. My mom says that she was handed her first one (Louisiana, mid 1950s) ...

Paul, saying "..replaces Scott Pruett at the wheel.." when Scott is sitting beside you is pretty rude, bro. Alfa *and* Porsche in Indycar? Glad they made the attempt, but don't really know what it was for. Arie in the wall early on. Shierson doesn't look too angry, I guess an Indy win in the same year will do that for ya.

Never had that fake chicane on the back straight when I raced there, but I never raced in anything even half as fast as a GTP car. OTOH..the heat is real. In SCCA, we used to call our summer points race there the "July Fry". Southern heat combined with the radiation from that concrete bowl was brutal. Anyhow, GTP went there. Klaus Ludwig 'blows up real good' in the Probe, not long after Ken Squ...

Yeah, only footage I could find elsewhere is of the damn crash. From the collection of some old friends of mine, here's the full race. The wreck was actually pretty early on in the event. Ferrari vs. Olds? Not so much. The spring race at Road Atlanta was a sprint. Team Dyson has Ford power in their R&S chassis, and uses it. I see Olds working it in GTS-1 (the class formerly known as GTO), thoug...

One for my fellow club members. Once upon a time, we used to sanction stage rally. Hyundai thought it was important enough to buy time on ESPN2 for a bit.

Flat-track it on four wheels! Finally found *something* in my pile from the Milwaukee Mile. Traditionally, the race was the week after Indianapolis for the big cars.

FA was probably on the undercard for CART on this particular weekend. FA might be Toyotas ins...

The "Nations Cup" is still around for folks who hated to see Indycars race on road and street courses. Personally, I never cared what country a driver was from.

    Yeah I'm not sure that I can take Lyn St. James talking about what it takes to be a good driver and race in CART. She was, and is, a complete joke that took a seat away from a driver that actually deserved it. I'd rather take racing advice from a potato than her.

Always get goose bumps when I tell of the first time I heard the announcer say “and it’s green!”. This year, I was in one of the garages for a tour, and came face to face with Simon Pagenaud.
