A big block Chevy in race trim is hard to beat for sound.

These are just awesome to listen to and see on track. Back in about 1990 or 1991 I went to Watkins Glen to watch SVRA event and their theme was CanAm cars and labeled "Thunder at the Glen". Very appropriate name !

Wow, stick shifter, round steering wheel, foot pedals, round analog gauges, no neck-shoulder-head braces… archaic and totally awesome! A true and proper race car!

Tires almost 2 foot wide and a 10" steering wheel. When men were men!

The new fast? Orange has always been the definition of fast. ;)
Awesome video!

You can see the velocity stacks in the left mirror. What a ride. What a sound!

My god, that is intoxicating. My favorite part is the velocity stacks being visible in the mirror.
I love vintage racing because I get to see the cars that lit the racing crack pipe for me. However, seeing in this video the very same Trans Am cars that were sharing the track with cars I was wrenching is a bit disconcerting.
I'm not old, I'm vintage.

Thank you for the video. Will have to watch the video when I get home. Glad you were able to share this. Cool stuff!

Start working at home with Google! It's by-far the best job I've had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go to tech tab for work detail—————-> www.Jobs700.com

Seriously you're buying a new BMW every week? The insurance must be killing you.

I saw him and the McLaren at Road Atlanta in April. The sound is intoxicating.

last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My neighbour's sister has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out.
This is what I do,,,,,,,,,,

He must be "down" on power I saw a Shadow DN4 dyno sheet at 875 LOL. The velocity stacks are massive in the old days you would see tennis calls in the stacks, but in a Can AM car they use softballs

So you're making $791 an hour but your sister is only making $187? That's cold dude.

Sounds like he is doing 2 things. 1 defiantly taking it easy and 2 keeping it out the very top of the rev range. It sounds like the engine has a good bit more left in it when he lifts to shift.

Looks to me like it was the old fast, too :P

I have a very similar poster hanging in my garage, also has the #5 McLaren, but it is an original from 1969 and lists the purse as $50,000 and the top drivers include Hulme and Surtees among others. I purchased it from a store in the town of Watkins Glen in about 2006, but may have attended that very race as a kid. At least they do run events like Thunder at the Glen and historics at the Laguna Seca and the Sonoma Raceway vintage events. It will be a sad day when there aren't enough owners willing to risk these these beautiful machines t0 make for a decent race.

Hey I was there! I loved the Can Am cars, my favorite being the DN4 Shadow! Man was that thing fast!

I was there for that race... for me the highlight was watching a late model Audi LMP car incapable of putting distance on a Shadow that was also in the race. The Shadow ended up winning when the Audi blew a corner.

I work for this guy! I haven't met him yet, but it's nice to know my hard work enables him to have some fun like this. Don't worry, he shares his fortune, takes care of us. I'd love to hang out with him. He's a nerdy dude from what I've seen, but his passion for cars is crazy.

He's a rare breed that loves old race cars and wants to see them used.

I wish! I have friends that race a McLaren M8F (ex-Hulme) and a 427 Cobra (ex-Gurney) and a Fort GT40 and a ex-Lauda Ferrari 412 F1 and and and (you get the idea). It's fun to hang out and watch.

With friends like that, who wouldn't?! Anyways, I'm sure I'll try to get some interviews for our podcast at that event. We're not typically oriented to vintage, but we talk about the modern day evolution of these cars, so it'll be relevant one way or another.
