Any of you guys remember Penske & Co with Mark Donohue when they would show up at Laguna with the 917-10K that had over 1500HP in qualifying trim and about 1200 in race trim. The lap record on the old circuit before the infield was added had a a 917 and about 59 second laps. There were 2 races in the Can Am Series, the 917's and all the other cars. That was the demise of the series. 12cyl turbod and nothing close!
