| Late 1960s Racing -- Homepage
Defined by the epic Can-Am days: Unlimited
power and few constraints on the creativity of designers. Where could the
evolution of the sports/racing car go after Roger Penske's 1973 1200 HP
Flat-12 Turbo-Porsche 917/30s? Porsche had a 1600 HP Flat-16 in development
for the 1974 season... That was too much. And that was the end.
The end of what? I'm not sure I
can answer that question. But I do think that something big was indeed
finished after the 1973 Can-Am season, and in August, 1974, Steve Earle
held the first Monterey Historic Races. To me, that was a seamless
transition.
