I used to love CanAm as well, with Donohue, Hall and the rest - that went away as well.

Noticing your from West Islip, agree, some of the best racing was at Bridgehampton , including the Chaparrals with Hall & Sharpe in the #65 & 66 in the Can-Am.series At one race prior to qualifications, it appeared they both took turns setting the fastest lap.

Having the sand blow onto the track sure made the corners interesting. The December issue of Hemmings Motor News has an article " Under the Bridge: Long Island's Bridgehampton circuit was more than just a track "

The only big block Ford powered Can Am car , original engine was an aluminum 427, participating in vintage racing is a McLaren M6-B, Peter Revson drove for Caroll Shelby.
