Eric, saw this clip on AxisofOversteer and thought it had your name all over it

YouTube - 1968 McLaren M6B at Infineon Raceway!

 

^That is awesome!!! I have ridden a few hot laps at Infineon, but have never driven it myself, especially in a fire breathing Can Am monster. Its such a tricky, technical track that in Vintage races the Can Am cars are nowhere near the fastest cars at the event. They are too prone to snap-oversteer with the slightest bit of too much throttle.

Bear in mind that this is a small block chevy making around 550 hp in a car that weighs about 1,700 lbs with the driver and by watching the throttle lever, you can see that he only opens it up a few times during the lap. The McLaren M8's with big blocks in vintage events are now making 800-900 hp so the acceleration of those machines make this small block McLaren M6 seem tame

The JC knows the BigE would rep the JC if the BigE could....

 

I repped you both for each other...

 

That engine makes the sound of God barking fire. I love it!

 

who is this handsome guy strappin in to this Mclaren?



Its me

 

Oh yeah- awesome vid!!

 

Awesome pic!! Isn't it crazy how small those cars are? and how little protection you have around you while driving what essentially amounts to a go-kart with 15" slicks in the back and 800+ hp

The Can Am drivers of that day had balls of steel.

 

I have a few more of this beast.. I'll dig them out and post them. I'll be revisiting it soon at the coronado speed festival.

 

here I am standing by it like I own it or something






I was about to poop my pants when he asked me to hang out a bit and learn about the car..
