Hello and Happy New Year 2022 from The Racing Ear Podcast,
In this episode, Mr. Producer and I were fortunate enough to be able to visit with Rick Knoop and Henry "Ike" Smith during the Christmas Holidays in December of 2021. We were also able to have a very historic conversation about the Canadian American Challenge Cup at the glorious "Conversation Diner". We had an enjoyable time remembering what Can Am auto racing was back in the 1960's and the 1970's.
Henry "Ike" Smith started working for Carl Haas in the development and refinement of Lola racing cars back in the 1960's. Rick Knoop started driving McLaren racing cars back in the 1970's. These historic accounts were astounding to listen to and it was compelling to hear also about how this historic racing series developed through innovation using genuine Chevrolet parts.
