5.0 out of 5 stars BIGGEST / FASTEST, September 26, 2008

This review is from: Can Am The Speed Odyssey (DVD)

Sam Posey takes you on an adventure of the Canadian-American series know as Can-Am.
Unlimited bore engines, the first winged race cars, first ground effects, lap times better than Grand Prix cars,.. not to mention the most powerful road race car ever built...917/30KL
This is Can-Am racing

Putting it to words the memories this has brought back is impossible.

I'm very fortunate to have grown up just outside Road America (my first race was around 1970)..its minutes from my back door.
To see Road America back in the day, without guard rails, is almost hard to believe.
All the tracks back then were raw and untamed, fitting for the Can-Am beasts.

Regardless of the type of racing that turns your crank,
Can-Am 'The Speed Odyssey' is a must have.

Go ahead,..TURN IT UP!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars CAN AM MEMORIES, September 12, 2008

This review is from: Can Am The Speed Odyssey (DVD)

This dvd does an excellent job of recreating the ambience of the classic late 60's/early 70's Can-Am....especially as the sounds have been sucessfully synchronized with the video imagery. Sam's narration is erudite as ever..we even get some commentary from Jim Hall. The story is told pretty straightforwardly and some tangential details have been omitted...overall a good job and it will certainly jog the memories of those who were there! We also get to lap long defunct great racetracks such as Riverside and Bridgehampton.....as close as possible to a Can-Am time machine....

The Can-Am 0f the '70's was astounding!! No formula today even approaches where these guys were. If you have found memories of this series or think that F1 and NASCAR of today are real racing, you should buy this CD!
