I took today off and ran over to Sonoma Raceway (It'll always be Sears Point to me...)
Some pics and vids you might enjoy. Don't miss the Repsol 962 chasing those CanAm cars!
CanAm cars... I gotta get me one of those!
Anyway, enjoy!

And as much as I love Porsches, this McLaren wins my vote for the day.

If thunderous, frightening, monstrous and brutal had an orgy and made a baby, this thing would still kick its ass.

And the 917/10 and 917/30 would both kick its ass!!

I can't dispute that... And not to turn this into a debate but, IMO, it would have been cool to keep a V8 engine class. There was so much innovation and it was a class far more people could get into. Once the factories (Porsche in particular) got involved, the "little guys" didn't stand a chance.
I have a buddy who built his own CanAm car and raced it. He likely would never have won, but again, he was on the grid.
The price of progress, I suppose.
