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
มุมมอง 1.3K8 ปีที่แล้ว
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) ...

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.

Oh, so many drivers' names that it would take me a week to research them all. Just go Google the results (or watch this vid) and pick your favorite. Mine's actually McNish. Note to non-racers: Regardless of what the broadcast team here says, taking your hands off the wheel when you know the car's headed off isn't some sort of social statement.

1986 IMSA GTP at Charlotte (partial)

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.

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.

    The gearing sounds kinda off on this particular car, like it's always in a way too tall range, doesn't sound like the motor is running around peak RPM range. I'm not sure what kind of car this is, it sounds like a 6 cylinder engine. Fun race, the recent disaster and devastation from Helene made me wonder what kind of shape and condition these roads and trails are now.
