There are some fabulous sites if you want to see photos of these beasts in action. I know there is another place in 10/10ths to post site addresses, but it seems appropriate to put these here.
www.motorracingretro.com has loads of Can-Am as well as other major single seat and sportscar pics from the 60s to the present. www.mlodeent.com/CANAM/Canam.htm is exclusively Riverside. www.racingsportscars.com has Can-Am, Interserie and other sportscar pics. www.research-racing.de/CanAm4.htm has lots of pics but is very slow to load (on my complicator anyway). www.vintagerpm.com is Mike Stucker's very good Can-Am intro history. www.autosportsltd.com/oursler.htm#oursler shows samples from a CD they sell crammed with photos taken by Bill Oursler - only snag is you have to work out yourself who, what, when, where. There are many driver sites - McLaren, Hulme, Donohue, Minter, etc. The foxyventures site mentioned by mickj is run by Marilyn Fox-Halder who was Mrs Lothar Motschenbacher in the Can-Am days and carried her cine camera around with her. I have two of the three videos and they are very fuzzy sound and visionwise. There certainly must be video/TV material around somewhere, I just wish I knew where - can any North American contributor help? |

Thanks DaveM
I was aware of some of these sites, but you have added a couple more. My daughter (a petrolhead like me) taped some CAN AM races that appeared on cable TV a few years ago.They look as they were done professionly by a TV crew. I like Minters 'Donkey Bop'.

Another interesting site on CAN-AM www.photoessayist.net Section CAN-AM at Laguna Seca. photos of Chaparral 2J with small motor running, dragging the car onto the ground.
Also photos of the Mac's Special, the car with 4 snow mobile motors. If only it had worked. |
