Domtoni,
I was lucky enough to go to Laguna Seca for all the Can Am races, The McLaren's were always my favorites and the M8B was the best. They were way faster than the rest, well tested and beautiful!
You got the feeling that Bruce, Denny & Chris (Amon, drove the back-up when the Ferrari failed in practice) were just playing with the others.

Great link, thanks for the posting!
I shot this photo when Bruce came into the paddock following practice at Mid Ohio during the Bruce and Denny Show weekend.
Now you can see why I was infected with the urge to build one myself. I can honestly say that it was a special moment the first time sitting on the grid and still is. Its great to see the smiles on peoples face when they to hook back into memories of that era.
Cheers

Russel, you're a lucky guy to have two yellow ones - one a McLaren and the other a McCopy - amazing!
She looks beautiful, and no doubt tears up the road and track.

Actually according to my recollection of Laguna Seca at the time it wasn't allowed then either. Either he had a special pass or nobody noticed him yet. Everyone else is up the hill behind the fence.
Just awesome. I wish the ban on 'moving aerodynamic devices' was never that draconian... it would have been pretty amazing to see where that would have led. High wings mounted to the uprights? Pretty cool stuff in my book.
