From the archives, in case fans have not seen these cars. Here is the great, Can Am championship, at Road America, in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, in 1967. This race, was 200 miles long. Only 50 laps, around the 4 mile layout. So, not really an enduro. But, still fantastic. The video is the equivalent of a race report from yours truly for one of the modern races. Check out the legendary drivers such as Denis Hulme, Bruce McLaren, Dan Gurney, George Follmer, Mark Donohue, John Surtees, Jim Hall, Mario Andretti, Brett Lunger, Skip Scott, Sam Posey, Peter Revson, and Chuck Parsons. 33 cars started the race.
Sports car racing, is my passion and I have been dedicated to it for well over two decades. A great quote from Steve McQueen in his 1971 movie, when he starred as Gulf Porsche driver Michael Delaney, comes to mind. "Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after, is just waiting." - Steve McQueen From the movie, "Le Mans" - 1971
