Just keeping things going here. Here's a cool vid I found.

Those were the best days of racing ever IMO. So much new and varying technology and ideas being applied, with basically no rules.

Like the Shadows too, Forward thinking people.

Today it's exponentially faster, everything, technology, research, but it all looks the same pretty much. Back then, well, you had Porsches and Chapperels and Shadows and McLarens and GT40's ferarris and who knows what else, all different, with different ideas as to what might be faster. Man! What a time for racing.

And here's a vid of a Can Am race, where Bob Boburant won. The significance is that one of our forum members drove for, and with Bob, and was an instructor at Bob's driving school at Sears Point for many many years.

MUCH respect for Ron Southern, and his Pantera is something to behold. As virgin as you'll ever see a Pantera.
