The 1967 Road America Can‑Am, held on September 3, 1967, was the opening round of the second Canadian‑American Challenge Cup season and marked the beginning of what became known as the “Bruce and Denny Show.” According to the official season schedule, the race launched a year of dominance by the McLaren team, whose new McLaren M6A‑Chevrolet set a new standard for Can‑Am performance. The race was attended by major teams, including McLaren, Lola, Chaparral, and star drivers such as Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, Dan Gurney, Mark Donohue, and John Surtees, all piloting the most powerful Group 7 machines of the era. This race is remembered as the moment McLaren’s dominance truly began, with the M6A proving faster and more reliable than its rivals. The 1967 Road America Can‑Am stands today as a defining early chapter in what many consider the greatest era of unrestricted sports‑car racing.Collection
