Thumbs up OT: Thrill of a lifetime - ride in Can-Am car!
I attended the Mark Donohue Tribute/Reunion at Watkins Glen this past weekend, and was offered a ride around the track in Mark's 1996/1997 USRRC/Can-Am Lola T70.

(The owner only had to make the offer once.)

Into the chicane. That's Mark's 1971 Trans-Am Championship Javelin in front, along with the Ford Gt Mk IV that he co-drove with Bruce McLaren at LeMans in 1967.

In the staging lanes - that's Mark's 1967 Trans-Am Camaro in front.
