Race Profile – 1967 Can-Am at Road America

The 1967 Can-Am race at Road America signaled the start of an era that would become known as “The Bruce and Denny Show,” as Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme’s McLarens dominated the series for the next five years.

These videos have exceptional Can-Am footage, especially of the dominate McLaren M6A of Denny Hulme, Jim Hall’s high wing Chaparral 2G and the beautiful Lola T70s of Mark Donohue and John Surtees. The sense of tremendous power and speed is just as impressive as it is today.

The top five finishers:

1. Denny Hulme, McLaren M6A
2. Mark Donohue, Lola T70 Mk. 3B
3. John Surtees, Lola T70 Mk. 3B
4. Jim Hall, Chaparral 2G
5. Skip Scott, McLaren M1C

Other names of note include George Follmer, Dan Gurney, Bruce McLaren, Peter Revson, Sam Posey and Mario Andretti.
