I was a teenager when Can-AM was in it's prime and was able to see a couple of races at Road America. My older brother and I were die hard model builders and that grew into slot cars. Many weeks worth of allowances went into our habit. I was able to get a copy of 'Can-AM Photo History' and that will be my brother's Christmas gift. Thanks for keeping the faith alive and bringing back some wonderful memories. One of these days I will make it to Texas and go to the Chaparral museum but in the meantime I can look at your photographs. I may have to break down and get one of the DVDs.

Congrats! Looks pretty. Will probably buy. Your calendar has been hanging over my monitor since the beginning of the year. Every day this month, I've been looking up at Mark and David's beat up warrior. I vividly remember reading about that race as a boy and seeing that picture and description takes me back without fail. However, in July, we return to my fav --- the Can Am bruisers. Thanks for all the photos and words. Cheers, Michael Hi Pete,

I'm less "up to speed" in your phrase than I am blundering along, misfiring, tires cold, windscreen clouded with clag... But at least there hasn't been a crunching sound yet! -- Pete Hi Andy –

Thanks for the kind word, but I fear I don’t deserve it, not yet, anyway. I’m less “up to speed” in your phrase than I am blundering along, misfiring, tires cold, windscreen clouded with clag… But at least there hasn’t been a crunching sound yet!

Maybe one day I'll get up to speed on all this but first I'll reapply the Ben Gay, take a few more Advils, and keep trying to figure out how to get those search engines to 'find' my website! Congrats on navigating your way through the 'blog'! Andy Pete,
