Followed Can Am racing back in the 70's. These machines screamed through the course. The sound those velocity stacks pumped out screamed speed. Thanks for the memories!!
For me one of the most awe inspiring forms of motorsport. Those big blocks monsters can move me emotionally.
No computer,No turbo, No paddle shifter, Pulls like a Bull , And sounds like Heaven. Thank You
Sounded like a dog box
Nice video! I had the pleasure of working with Jim at Skip Barber in 89/90. Great driver, great guy.
I LOVE the sounds it makes when he up/downshifted.
What a video!
Thank you.

Seems like it ended way too soon! I couldn't watched that onboard stuff for hours. I LOVED this era of racing. I remember watching them at Mid-Ohio where I grew up.
I'm an old man and I haven't raced in many years but watching this with the sound turned up brought a full smile to my face from the the time he finished his warm up laps to the end of his session . Thanks , Mark Battista
It's good mate. Im 55 and look at the old stuff. They were brave and fast. I watch the v8 supper cars here in Australia. Good racing but lower speeds They put safety first i spous
hell of a job driving, around the carousel was crazy how well you held that line, great lap, thanks for making a sweet ass video.
Very cool, the way he floated the rear end around at 2:50.
JasmineLindros Perfect balance of handling.
Fantastic footage. JP runs an outstanding lap. LOVE the sound of that engine at full tilt.
You can see the raw power the M6A has, gently ease the power and BAM!!!!!! you’re flying away
Mechanical fuel injection back then was either the engine at idle, or at full acceleration, with little in-between. It could be a reason why mechanical fuel injection was not suitable for street vehicle use.
Thanks! Glad people enjoy it. Watch it twice a day :)
ferocious acceleration - balls of steel!
I loved watching Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme race those orange McLaren Can-Am cars back in the day.
Those two made the races look so easy; while the rest of the competitors struggled.
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching. The rest are on his channel on UA-cam.com, Jim Pace Motorsports
RIP Jim.
Denny Hulme won the Can-Am race back in 1967 on this same course in a similar car; his was a M6A model. Bruce McLaren had a rare DNF from mechanical problems in that same race.
The race covered 200 miles/321 kilometers with *no fuel stops and no tire changes.*
Got got Brian's autograph last year. :) This is COOL! Thanks for posting it! :D
That sound is terrific..so mechanical and a big part of what makes viewing the videos so much fun.
Excellent! Such a great era in motorsports
Awesome video!! Great driving, great car, and a great track!!
4 unlikes? For what? Your car will never be this awesome? This is a real race car, that is that, love it, so proud of its heritage
Back when traction control was your foot. Turbos should be outlawed for their lack of sound. This is how race cars are supposed to sound
Great video. Thanks for posting.
I remember seeing that car at the challenge! It just Flew! Great Vid
Its like strapping your self to a rocket! Fantastic video
i am in awe-like a wrestling
match
Monster car, monster driving. I love the gear noise too.
My favorite track!
I wish i could race my friends and show them the true skilled driver
i love it.... old scool
Glad you like it. There are new onboards at Jim Pace Motorsports channel on youtube
Turn 5. Good eye. There is a run-off zone there with paddock access for damaged cars, or those who braked a bit too late :)
You can just tell the M6B has insane amounts of grip just by looking at how little steering input is required to turn the car
Nice to see a guy that can actually drive a car well.
music to my ears.
awesome.....car and driving.....great video
..................hey THANKS FOR THIS !!!!!!!!
Wonderful to see these beautiful old cars used for their original use...racing.
be easy on them.
try not to prang them
but Exercise them on occasion
Thank you for sharing
This guy is amazing!
I am sure it is more fun than legally allowed! I was at the "Glen" for the '67 or '68 FI race. Bruce McLaren was running the Ford Indy motor in his car. It didn't seem to perform well. At the end of the race, Bruce gets out of his car and helps his crew member push the car to the paddock! Quite a guy, must have been real down to earth.
RIP Jim Pace.
Thanks!
I love this car. Even more than the 917/30. Just so BADASS.
Gosh I am going to miss the Brian Redman international challenge. New sponsor The Hawk, vintage weekend I have been going there every single year since age 2. I am going to miss it this year but I love these cars they are my favorite.
Wow that thing is friggin fast would love to drive it
Great !! thanks
wow, great control
Jim Pace, a total pro...
I could turn the monitor off and just listen to this all day.
Fact! This motor started out as a 327 SBC, but has been ahhhhhemmm altered slightly :)
Man, It would be so cool to get a ride!
WOW! WOW!
Great action at 1:25 ;-)))
Nice drive.
Wow cars back than were no joke, believe it or not cars nowadays are I think slower because of many reasons but you know, life is life, na-na-na-na-na. Sorry that song just randomly popped out of my head.
Just Wow.
Rip Mississippi!
This one is a small block. Pretty fun none the less and just as competitive as the big blocks.
pedal to the metal and here you go, there is even more power than you would have been expected!
This video of yours "Jim Pace" as I was watching it, my hair on my head was flying backwards as I watched. I also believe my eyes got distorted also when you were at full borne through "Thunder Valley" at "The Hawk" @ Road America. This video was much greater than impressive. This video was very impressive and beyond. Jim, I have a question for you. Do you know who drives the 1968 #22 McLaren M6B Chassis #50-06? It is White in color with Red & Blue racing stripes.
Chassis number 50-06, built in 1968, was sold new to AutoDelta, the racing division of Alfa Romeo, for their T-33 Race Project. After Alfa was done, 50-06 was placed in an Italian barn until found by Charlie Gibson. Charlie brought it to the United States with intentions of using the McLaren on the street. While doing the street project vintage racing started to get going and Charlie directed his efforts to racing the car and did so until his untimely death in 2004. Dave Handy, co-owner of Sasco Motorsports acquired the car and raced it until bought by the current owners in 2011.
Jim to see a picture of this 1968 #22 McLaren M6B go to facebook.com/groups/CanAmRacing4/ there is my Canadian American Challenge Cup Series Can-Am photos of 1966 - 1974. Jim I would appreciate your help, and would really like you to join this group, and add your video's, pictures, info, to share with others as you do here also. Thank you, and appreciate you Jim Pace....Stan Bunner
best commercial ever.
I agree! Just touching 190MPH on a quali lap in this car at Road America. JP describes the car as "violent".
Wow!
That thing looks terrifying and AMAZING to drive! So much power and so little between you and the road and everything on it. Also that footwell looks kind of strange, looks like it'd be awkward to get your feet into it? Also how is the racing in these events? I imagine when everyone is driving very expensive and VERY rare cars people won't be taking any crazy risks :)
When I was 18 I saw the pictures. 54 ys later I see a clip.
I love that 4 people don"t like this. They must be confused by the right turns.
The sound and power of Chevy big block engines are most impressive!
Man can drive!
Nice
Christ, that's quick.
Did he drive the BF Goodrich 962 Porsche with Jim Busby? Maybe I'm imagining it.
a REAL MANs car thanks 'Bruce'
I'm curious as to how much quicker the car would be with a modern tire and compound
Baddass
Jim "Certainly has got the" Pace
I believe modern age superbikes do the similar lap times, same wit NASCAR. Insane acceleration!
LOL in the high speed corners it seemed like you were pointing the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the corner for most of the time. These machines are just too insane.
Go McLaren!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a monster
Would of been cool to see some telemetry during that run. Looks brutal.
Wow, soooo fast
I remeber the Bigblock aluminum McLarens. They sounded like locomotives on steriods!
The other car is actually a Lola T70 Coupe, but from the rear looks much like a 917.
What was that slow red thang?
1 full lap is up. Just goes by quickly. Try Jim Pace Motorsports channel on youtube for more videos!
iRacing needs this car!
anyone notice the car going into the gravel @ 2:15?
Was that m6b a Chevrolet engine or was that the m8f?
I've heard rumors of just that. Someone had a few of the cars at the Hawk this year.
He has more on his channel Jim Pace Motorsports. Can-Am cars are controlled chaos :)
@telescopereplicator Glad you like it. I set JP up with his own channel. If you liked this, look at Jim Pace Motorsports channel.
1966 ?? have this beast a chevy small block ??? and the trumpets from jerico !
the hilborn injection !!
You can look this up for verification, but the McLaren M6B was a 1967 model. Puzzling why cssutherland had the video title card saying it was a 1966 model . . . as the real 1966 model, the McLaren M1B, looked more like a barge when compared to the M6B seen in this video. You can check for verification of the 1966 Can Am season for the images of the cars that ran that season.
I followed the Can Am series back then. The McLaren team in '67 ran with a 358 cubic inch/5.9 liter Chevy engines in the McLaren M6A model. Other teams, such as the Jim Hall Chaparral with the 2E, and on occasion the Roger Penske Lola T70 (driven by Mark Donohue), ran with the 427 cubic inch/7 liter Chevy engine.
Two advantages the McLaren M6A that the McLaren team ran in '67 (as the M6B were production models sold to other teams for the '68 season) was with aerodynamics and wheel hubs designed for extra-wide wheel rims.
The wheel hubs for the extra-wide rims allowed McLaren to use the widest possible race tires Goodyear could manufacture at the time. Other teams tried copying McLaren with mounting the wide rims on the Lola T70s, with many of them suffering from wheel bearing failures and wheel hub problems.
Another reason McLaren ran away with the '67 Can Am season was the fact that the competitors were still using 1966 model year racers: The Lola T70 and Chaparral 2E.
I could be wrong, but I think there is a very short paddock gear used for getting to and from the track making it a 5 speed, i'll ask. JP can be very "efficient" in his down shifts, so looks can be deceiving and thats all i'm saying ;-)
I tried! Thanks
Lola T70 Coupe. Very quick car. Big block too in comparison to the M6B's small block
That Big Block Chevy just screams "Get the hell out of my way I am coming through!".
What makes such fast shifting possible? I've driven manual for 30 years, sport cars and HP cars but never anything I could shift that fast. What do they put in race cars so you can do that? Double clutch?
Straight cut gears, not using the clutch to shift just lifting a bit on the throttle.
Lots of practice to not miss shifts then, I guess. Very cool, thank you.
@@theswimmer220 ...dog box, there's some vid of them on UA-cam
yes, i guess you never have to use 1st on Elkhart Lake, but i asked that cause i think i only saw him using 3 gears ( 2nd to 4th ). maybe i'm wrong...
No it was the Kohler International Challenge. Vintage event. If you like AC/DC you should check out Jim Pace Motorsports channel on youtube and see AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson in his prototype at the 24 hrs of Daytona
What's the "whistling sound on decel?
