    Paul,
    The older McLaren Can Am cars would often be found at these SCCA sports car races. At this meet in Ohio there were two 1965/66 McLaren M1Bs that were chasing the 1968 Bob Nagel Lola T 70. One was driven by Don Eichstaedt in McLaren # 16 and the other was Dave Causey driving McLaren # 54.

    Sometimes Causey tried a bit too hard !

    The # 16 McLaren M1 B was driven by Don Eichstaedt and the next post will show what an interesting history this car had.
    (Note;It had a 351-W Cobra/Ford V-8. The engine was equipped with downdraft Weber racing carburetors. )
