[QUOTE=nowingsjeff;172251]Russ, those huge F1 & Can-Am crowds weren't really race fans were they? They were more like the "Snake Pit" type of people. You know, more interested in the party than racing. Much like those street course races of today that most "Real" racefans can't stand.[/QUOTE
Yes, they were race fans. I guess Big Steve can be called a race fan, he went to the Glen for F1 in those days. I went to Road America in the 70's, does this mean I'm not a race fan? LOL!
The US in the 1960's was a car culture. The Can-AM cars of the 1960's were bad ass race cars.
