Default '73 Can Am Pics

When drivers were brave, as well as fast. Kinda puts it in perspective for me today as I poked around the 910. Not going to drive it tomorrow, but it's just sooooooooooooooooo old and simple. But it still goes damn fast!

Outstanding! I was in attendance at many of those races, and the memories are still very strong.

Thanks for the pictures.

Wild Hairy racing days of yore.
No supercomputers to guide car design.
Massive motors.
Big sticky tires.
