Summary: BIGGEST / FASTEST
Comment: Sam Posey takes you on an adventure of the Canadian-American series know as Can-Am.
Unlimited bore engines, the first winged race cars, first ground effects, lap times better than Grand Prix cars,.. not to mention the most powerful road race car ever built...917/30KL
This is Can-Am racing
Putting it to words the memories this has brought back is impossible.
I'm very fortunate to have grown up just outside Road America (my first race was around 1970)..its minutes from my back door.
To see Road America back in the day, without guard rails, is almost hard to believe.
All the tracks back then were raw and untamed, fitting for the Can-Am beasts.
Regardless of the type of racing that turns your crank,
Can-Am 'The Speed Odyssey' is a must have.
Go ahead,..TURN IT UP!!!

Summary: CAN AM MEMORIES
Comment: This dvd does an excellent job of recreating the ambience of the classic late 60's/early 70's Can-Am....especially as the sounds have been sucessfully synchronized with the video imagery. Sam's narration is erudite as ever..we even get some commentary from Jim Hall. The story is told pretty straightforwardly and some tangential details have been omitted...overall a good job and it will certainly jog the memories of those who were there! We also get to lap long defunct great racetracks such as Riverside and Bridgehampton.....as close as possible to a Can-Am time machine....

THE SPEED ODYSSEY takes you on the wildest ride in road racing. 1966 - 1973 CAN AM Challenge Cup: the quintessential epic adventure in an era of change and discovery, where heroic drivers from Formula One and around the world battle in their brutally fast road racing machines on the daunting race tracks across North America. A ROAD RACING COUNTER-CULTURE The CAN AM rule book intentionally had few restrictions, a championship which created the fastest most powerful road racers. These radical race cars and their world renown innovations pushed the limits and sometimes beyond. CAN AM legends Jim Hall and Sam Posey take you inside this brave odyssey, a spectacle of fierce race competition, escalading speeds, intrigue and ground shaking sounds. THE SPEED ODYSSEY is crafted exclusively from original CAN AM motion picture archival footage.
