Recommended Posts

As posted in social scene, I have a spare weekend ticket going for the members meeting if anyone is interested. It cost me £142  but I'm open to offers.

Brilliant weekend of motorsport at Goodwood. 
The Can Am car demos were awesome.

Adam Sykes drove one of the early Can Am cars, a Chinook Chevrolet, that were actually racing in the Surtees Trophy for unlimited sports prototypes between 64 & 66. 
The Chinook was notably slow in period relative to the Lolas and McLaren M1s. 
Surtees won the first Can Am championship in 66 in a Lola T70. 

The Can Am demo cars were mostly a bit later from 68 - 74. One owner from the USA had 7 Shadows there inc the one that Jackie Oliver used to win the championship in 1974 with Oliver driving it in the demo. 

Fantastic cars. Brute force in huge cars. What a sight.
