He was way ahead of his time. Love his cars, but he had a poor choice of using an auto for some of the cars with adjustable aero which proved unreliable. Also where is the fan car, that is the best of the bunch!

Chaparral 2H. The one in the vid is missing the awesome wing though.

The 3-speed auto w/ torque converter proved extremely helpful in reducing fatigue during endurance races though.

I remember reading about that but during the can am races you would think they would change transmissions out for something a bit mor reliable. This is a race car after all and they get pulled apart every 3 minutes, so a tranny swap should be no problem!

Fan cars suck. Well, they do!

That is my bad joke of the night. Hall did some amazing stuff. Really pushed the tech of the time.
