Default Speed Odyssey...Can Am Racing....

It took forever, but they finally shipped them

These DVD's were announced last November and i ordered some. November led to Dec, which led to Feb, then to march then to ...who knew.

Well they finally finished the DVDs and they shipped Monday and i got mine!

Great videos of the Can Am series from the mid 60's to the 70's. I just finished watching it and it is fantastic. I haven't played it on the surround sound system yet, but I 'm guessing the sound is pretty good, too.:

Here's a teaser, Giddy Up!

You'll enjoy it.

Some of the video is of tracks we run today. Some is from tracks that no longer exist.

These cars were faster than the Formula 1 cars of the day.

95 minutes of historical footage.

Just finished watching my copy, great footage. Especially when they show Road America they set-up at the kink and they fly through there - the clip on the teaser of the Chapperal trimming the wing is from the kink. All in all it is a great DVD and well worth the $$ for a Can Am fan.
I was hoping to see some onboard at Road America. Also they didn't show anything for 1969 and very little of 1973 I would love to see the 917-30 in action a little more. Donahue was the man!

Heck, go to the track, stand beside them when they're fired up and watch them run.

www.svra.com
www.vararacing.com

schedules and more at www.victorylane.com

They're running these cars all over the US.
I'm going in 2 weeks, crewing on a Group 44, Bob Tulius V12 XKE.

Used to love watching Tullius drive that car at Nelsons Ledges when I was much younger.
