It is truly a fantastic thing to watch if for nothing more than to study the progression of "aero" over the decades.
For anyone in the San Jose California area you need to take the opportunity to stop by Bruce Canepa's museum and restoration facility and see a lot of these cars up close and personal.
The Can/Am cars were truly something to behold. The noise was unimaginable. All aluminum block 427 fuel injected Chevrolet's in 1200lb cars with huge brakes and no suspension that worked. They would accelerate like a "sidewinder missile" and stop like, well slow down like a poorly hit badminton birdie. They would nearly idle around the corners then launch all over again to the next. Pure backyard engineering until Porsche got involved. 0-100 MPH in 1.6 sec. Four years later it was over.
maybe I can find replay to DVR? I'm a huge road racing fan and watching F1, DTM, Blancpain etc. is what gets me wanting to drive my 1/43, 1/27, 1/10 & 1/1 cars
