[copo9566aa]

Player's Quªbec St-Jovite Sept 11 1966

The Can-Am trophy races.

While Surtees and McLaren were chasing ane
another with no close competition to worry about,
many of the top centenders fell victim to various
difficulties throughout the early stages of the race.
Mark Donohue failed to complete one lap in his Lola
dropping out with broken steering. Lothar Motschen-
bacher, rapidly becoming one of the hottest young
competitors in North America, blew a tire on the 15th
lap while in third position, dropping him back con-
siderably after the pits stop and after driving a very
commendable race in the Nickey Chev McLaren had
to settle for an eighth overall finish.

Jones retired on the 20th lap with clutch problems
and a cockpit gas leak caused by a faulty gas bladder.
Skip Scott's McLaren dropped out with linkeage
troubles on the 14th lap. The Nickey Chev driven by
Charlie Hayes blew a head gasket and he retired on
the 19th lap.
