I saw Jackie take the first win for the car at Mt. Tremblant in 1971... all the headlines the next day said "McLaren's bubble burst!". Still have some pictures of it somewhere, including one with Denny Hulme's autograph on it.

I saw Jackie Stewart race that Lola back in the day at Road America. I remember standing on the outside of the approach to turn 14 and looking back at the bridge that spanned the track over Thunder Valley (since removed) and seeing him drift that thing sideways as he passed under it. Nothing but guts and talent.

Used to have the L&M Lola as a slot car when I was a kid.

And yet, I never took up smoking...

I love RA! I went to the first Can Am reunion in 96.

Very cool! Thank you.

It is very interesting to see how the rear wing location changed throughout the season, as well as trying the "cow catcher" front wing, to help with the handling and understeer problems.

"Wee" Jackie hated the Lola 260. He reckoned it handled really badly with incurable understeer. He won a bit in it though, and it was the most sucessful Lola in Can Am since the T70, so it can't have been that bad.

Hey Blues ! I was at that same race!! I have thought many times about that day !! Might have seen you there.

Thanks for posting. This takes me back in time to 1970 when I attended my first (and only) Can Am race. ...at Riverside Raceway. Hard to believe 40 years have passed.
