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.

Customer Rating: 
Summary: disappointing DVD
Comment: This DVD covers the early years fairly well, but jumps through the later years far too rapidly, and with very inadequate coverage. The DVD should have been longer, especially with more and better coverage of the 1972 and 1973 years. Overall, rather disappointing. Too bad, since this was a very special era for auto racing. The topic deserves a better effort.

Summary: Great dvd - damaged/poor packaging
Comment: This is just my second purchase from Amazon.com. The outer cardboard packaging looked like it had been run over by a truck tire. The plastic case that held the dvd was broken into many little pieces. Luckily the disk was not damaged. For $32 I expected sturdy packaging to protect my purchase.

Summary: golden age of racing
Comment: This video does a great job of bringing the golden years of Can Am racing. Naration is key to getting the feel of what is was like.
I took my sons to the races when they were little. Now grown they remarked how all the great moments were brought back.

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!!!
