Great cars - but who were the clowns commentating, 'woah, like no 63 ..' Shadow, 'Maclaren.. Brotherly love.. What! No specs, no history.. you bring some of the greatest cars ever raced together and we have a couple of uninformed dorks, as the commentators.. What a shame.
So cool. I bought the 1991 Ford Roush Mustang GTO on Forza and am so curious about this epic class of cars. Definitely gonna save this video and watch after work.
I was a corner marshal here on Ontario Canada back in the late 60"s early 70"s at Mosport and in Quebec at St.Jovite. This was the best racing you could get. I watched Denny Hume put his gloves on after the bad burns he sustained and I was in tears watching him put his helmet on. A true competitor ! At at the track in Quebec I was at corner 8 from their it was a straight run up to the last corner before the front strait. their was a hump half way before the front strait many cars were air born what a sight. the sound was music to my ears....Thankyou..

Why doesn't anyone bring CanAm back? I don't know the inner workings of any of that, but Im assuming any racing fan would love it. Those cars a diverse and sick af.
Imagine if this is how you have to start out in racing, just start in an older car where you have no assists and everything is analog. Would make all drivers apprciate how hard it was in the old days.
I am retired now and I could easily go to these races and I never had, Home Court advantage, boy what I have been missing. I just heard of the Shadow about a month ago. I now ordered a slot car Shadow, they are selling out fast.
The Shadows really only show up at summer vintage event at road America mid July . The closest track for the owner ( one guy owns 30% of all shadows made!) I have seen them race there for 10 yrs straight, although they will be over at Goodwood this year for various events. They are mental, life changing loud and fast and brutal!! Go see can am if you can but make sure the big McLaren’s and shadows are involved for full effect
Oh my God that’s an insane lineup dude!!! So many classics in one spot probably opened up a portal to another universe. Thank you so much for uploading this.
My son and I were so fortunate and blessed to help out on the Shadow race car team in 2016 and 2020 at Road America. To see, hear and Feel these incredible big block racing machines in person is something everyone should get to experience. The whole organization especially RM Motorsports in Wixom Mi. who is in mine and many others opinions one of the finest facilities that fabricates, maintains, services , and preps just about any type of race car is all wonderful caring people. We felt like family with them. The two brothers Craig and Kirt Bennett who won and placed 2nd in this race are AMAZING drivers. They both started with go karts many years ago and can drive anything and drive it fast. Was really cool watching this video. If I remember correct Craig said he never raced this track before in a car but spent some time on his Xbox or play station practicing it. You’d never know that seeing how he did there but then again they both are very talented drivers and I’m sure after a few practice laps had their lines figured out. My son and I hope to see them again at a race soon it’s always a memorable experience hanging out with them. Even though it was a lot of hard work it was fun work.
