Thru the years I had forgotten how physically small the CanAm cars actually were until I climbed into a Chaparral. Length, width and height the cars are crazy small.

Funny thing, a Formula Ford today is faster at Mid Ohio that the CanAm was. But gawd they would make a thunder from heaven on a standing start making your insides shake and your feet tingle. With todays brakes and tires as well as HP from a modern 500 cuin big block they would be crazy fast.
