Early 1960s racing: The transitional
age continues. Mid-engined cars dominate major events while older
front-engined designs are still competitive on the local level. The explosive
appearance of Carroll Shelby's Cobras powers American road racing to a
whole new level.

Mid-1960s racing: Carroll Shelby's
Cobras dominate production and GT events. A new era begins with

in California showcase these spectacular cars.

Late 1960s racing: The epic Can-Am
days. Unlimited power and few constraints on the creativity of designers.
Where could things go after Roger Penske's 1200 HP Flat-12 Turbo-Porsche
