Cool choice Jeff....I'll bench race you w/ my dream choice McLaren M8! . Growing up the little town of Tyrone a few miles down the road from Mosport, I can't help but love the early Can-Am stuff! . The wing thing credit surely has to go to Jim Hall's cars....especially cool was the flipper wing cars! . I'm no Chappy expert but I think '66 was the only year for the flipper wing cars which gave the driver one more pedal to worry about controlling the on/off wing angle! .
As kids on bikes, my pals and I would always end up at Mosport w/ my best recollection being Gilles Villeneuve's practise laps in his Skiroule and Direct Film Atlantic cars. . The world may think Gilles best drive was the famous wheel to wheel battle w/ Rene Arnoux but nothing compares to Gilles practising at Mosport with no one around the track but us kids to perform for. . In typical Gilles fashion he'd power slide through turn 5 in perfect control and in the middle of it all we'd watch carefully as sometimes his hand would poke out in a litle wave to us as he'd slide by. . May sound goofy but seriously boys, it makes me friggin weepy thinking about it all again. ~ Pete
