HEMMINGS MUSCLE MACHINES The Original Can-Am Reaches its 50th Birthday https://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2016/09/06/the-original-can-am-reaches-its-50th-birthday/?refer=news

Russell - so sorry to hear about your wife. We made it as well; drove up PCH Friday from LA in the 911; stayed in Pacific Grove. At one point Saturday morning we were getting a bagel; were at a traffic light; there were eleven Ferraris around us in light traffic. Were at the track all day...

So cool! I'm flying to LA Thursday; baby bro and I will drive up Pacific Coast Highway to Monterey on Friday. NOTE - PCH is actually closed right now a couple places because of wildfires - hope it will re-open soon!.

Cool! We've got general admission / paddock tix for Sat/Sun; staying here - Andril Cottages Pacific Grove We'll drive up PCH Friday from LA in his silver 911 Targa (we'll look like a couple of dentists!) Have to head back Sunday for Yo-Yo Ma at the Hollywood Bowl that night. Hope I can...

Are you going to the Monterey Historics? I'll be there. Somebody here at work just noticed me watching your video, and i'm wearing my orange M8-B t-shirt - they commented!

Wonderful! Just found your email!

I'd post it to YouTube - that's easy. Can't wait! Forrest

Russell - can't wait for the pix! Also - what about the strut (verticals) placement for your wing relative to the original car, and the wing height - are they similar?

That's just . . . stunning. Certainly an inspiration. It's been a real pleasure watching - now we need videos! Forrest

I think the 2x4 compensates for the bow in the wing - fine; carry on.

There's a Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/UOPShadowTribute2016/?fref=nf Having said that, I like their T-172 best - I like the high, suspension- mounted wings that went out after 1969.

McLaren Automotive! Forrest

Another reason I've had to really think seriously about driver protection this past week. I saw Craig Bennett's crash Saturday morning in the #101 Shadow DN4 at Road Atlanta, and it was just horrific. He tunneled under one tire barrier and hit another coming down the hill towards Turn 12...

Good info. I do want to drive every day, which means a couple 15-mile trips on the Interstate in crazy Atlanta traffic. Gauges and cockpit equipment and finishes will be pleasure-boat sourced, so rain will just be ignored. Forrest

The kart has a "Chonda" engine - a Chinese copy of a single-cylinder OHV Honda. The chassis and engine are apparently standard for a spec class; I don't know which one. Proportions - yes, outside it seems fine - I've been able to be around them at vintage events (at least M8Fs) several times...

Also - I think I've finally firmed-up my approach for my M8B "tribute" street car project, especially after measuring and sitting in real M8s, and considering modern tire and brake sizes. Starting the CAD modelling now, so let's say a few years! 110-112% scale M8B, suspension-mounted high...

I will find out. I emailed the organizer to ask for a vendor list just now. Forrest
