This is the 1970 Laguna Seca Can Am. The 1st Can Am race I attended at 10 years old.
So lucky
Mine was 1968 at Laguna Seca when I was 7. Still have pics & movies of 68 -73 Can ams. I'm 62 now & I'm still driving my GT-1 tube framed TA beast... :)
I just can't get over how wildly exciting and bad ass this was. For any type of petrol head, this shit was just the ultimate. The machines and the legends driving them were all just God tier.
This is a terrific slice of racing life from a golden era - thank you.
Attending the reunion at Laguna Seca in August is worth every penny as hearing these incredible machines transports one back in time.
Was at Laguna Seca in 1967. It remember the Chaparelle running there but my recollection was that the rear wing stuck high up above the car.
One of the Smothers Brothers was racing as well [but he bombed out]. I was about 12 I think. Never forgot it. I also recall the layout of the track was diffrent to what it is today. There was no lake and it was a lot quicker. The place back then was a dump in comparison to today, but it had all these great cars.
It was also a whole better time in America. Back of Fort Ord not far from what was then the North-South road.
60 years ago.. my goodness...
This is 1970 at Laguna Seca. In 1971 I saw Peter Revson win in a factory McLaren. It started smoking and he was black flagged but kept on runnig to the end and it was determined he should NOT have been black flagged. Dave Causey crashed an older McLaren at the top of the corkscrew and caught the HAYBAILS on fire,...I was 15 years old
He hit a car with spectators that was in the wrong spot. I was there at the corkscrew when it happened and that was the report.
@@plantfeeder6677 You jogged my memory with that. I do remember a street car damaged but not on fire by the crash. It was a white full size American car at the top of 6 & 6a (at that time). I have a photo of Dave Causey taken at that time. It's of his back to me holding his helmet in one hand and his other hand pointing up the track while talking with a corner worker
Short racing films like this were often shown at the major auto shows. Small theaters inside the show venue gave the public a place to enjoy them.
I was a pit marshall at this race , working at the entrance to the racing pit lane .
What a great find - thank you!
Sublime.
These cars are what Car & Driver magazine called "hairy chested".
When masculinity was still a virtue.
Great stuff ,thanks for posting.
Jim Halls infamous " sucker car " , it didn't work out all that well .
I was there when the J2 wasnt allowed to race, when the race was over I saw a 911 enter the racetrack and head left I ran jumped in my 427vett with low wide indi style tires and did the same except went right as the racehad. around up top the trackcrew were yelling at the 911 he spun around and we raced back down wow what a thrill I passed him down hill inside, yes 73yrs old now but would do it again great times.
Chaparral looked and sounded reat.Elford was a top line driver. He died just a few weeks ago Not many of the treats from that time left.
Yes he was, that car came back to memory after watching the McMurTry Fan Car set the Goodwood hill climb record. We know were that car was born from renamed as ChapJ2McMurtry@@chasermalloy7406
I was there. I don’t remember anyone spelling it Alguna Seca before. 🤣
This is 1970, not 1971.
I was 11 in 71 and would've given my i-teeth to have been there or any Can Am event growing up around Stockcar but knowing there was a much hipper world out there.
I was 9 in 71 watching the supermodifieds in the Oswego Steel Palace. Hilborn injected big blocks and all. What a great time to grow up my brother
*MAGNOLIA THUNDERPUSSY FOR GOVERNOR*
Indeed! 👍🏼👍🏼
2:36 - Magnolia Thunderpussy was a San Francisco fast-food take-out in the '70s.
Fact.
Aluminum tubed Outrageous Go Karts for grown ass drivers,...bigger than life real balls were needed to drive these beasts of a vehicle to there full potential.
Monocoques. In this race, the 2nd place car Jackie Oliver’s Ti-22 had a titanium monocoque. An incredible race, won by Denis Hulme in his McLaren M8D over Oliver by less than 2 secs.
OMG! The memories that this brought back is incredible! What
Very cool
That's as competitive as the Can Am got with McLaren, Chaparral, March, Lola, Ferrari, Shadow, Ti 22 & BRM factory cars.
I was there that weekend
5:08 thanks for the mammaries
This is a race car period
Revson was in a McLaren M8F in 1971 494 aluminum chevy lucas mechanical fuel injection 1970 was McLaren M8D
LAGUNA SECA!!
"Alguna" Seca?
When engineering counted more than ratings.
All those huge diplacement v8s with competition cams making them idol like junkyard dogs
That's a good boy!!
Change the title 1970 Laguna Seca Can Am.
@David van den Boom The wrong year is referenced in the title. It is the 1970 Can Am or the long name is Canadian American Challenge Cup. Also the spelling of Laguna is wrong. The FIA classified Can Am cars as Group 7 cars. This is a period video that is a good starting point for learning about theses cars. ruclips.net/video/xXjZYIzKGCM/видео.html. They were always faster than F1 cars when the competed on the same tracks in the US and Canada.
@davecity In one year, there was a tremendous difference in performance.
The qualifying commentary is BS. Both Bruce McLaren and Hulme were under a minute in 1969. I was there, flagging at turn 3. I was turn marshal at T5 in 1970.
Very loosey-goosey commentary.
"Alguna Seca"????
I know its bait but it would seriously sound better as Alguna Secla. Alguna Seca doesn't have that ring to it.
Chris Amon of New Zealand not England ... commentator from 1970 is a womble....
overdubbed
@@OddJobFix Poorly overdubbed too! I saw the 1970 Road America Can Am as a 👦.
1970 not 71.
Was at the 1971 Laguna Seca Can-Am. This ain't it as others have stated. But I guess if you don't know how to spell Laguna, then you aren't gonna know anything else.
What a CF.
....its spelled
La Goona seeka 😂
LOL, as a race documentary, this is crap. 18:41 long and the race doesn't begin until 11:33 and ends at 17:52! The race coverage is minimal, loaded with shots of beautiful people looking at their stop watches and bizarre slow motion shots of Can Am racers doing nothing interesting. What the film does offer, however, are period views of Laguna Seca track details following the first track revamp in 1970 not found elsewhere.
yes its 1970, I was at 1971 Revson was by then in a McLaren and WON
