Some time ago, Gary Faules took us on a tour of Infineon Raceway in Lucky, the GT350R. I just stumbled across this video that puts things into a completely different perspective. Vintage racer Gary Sheehan takes us for a few laps of the legendary Sears Point track in the McLaren M6B Can Am car originally driven by Jo Bonnier. While I get the feeling that Gary S is far from flying in the beast, this video gives a pretty good idea what the view was like from the cockpit of one of the Can Am monsters.

Oh yeah, you might want to crank the speakers for this one!

If the other videos this morning haven’t woken you up yet, then turn the speakers up really loud and this one is sure to do the trick. Gary Sheehan takes us for a lap of Infineon Raceway in the 1966 Alfa Romeo GTA that Horst Kwech won the 66 Trans Am championship with.

Hot on the heels of this morning’s videos of our west coast contributor, Gary Faules’ GT-350 lapping at Infineon Raceway, now we have some killer in car footage of the break in. Perhaps more important, Gary’s co-driver, Jon Emerson is finally allowed to spill the beans on the team’s big news.

I’m sure Gary will have lots to tell here in The Garage, but for now check out the extreme coolness that is Lucky at Sears Point! Once the car is broken in, don’t think that Spec Miata will sail past quite so easily!

Finally, after all these months, Gary Faules’ GT-350 clone, Lucky, has some laps under his belt. Last weekend, Team California’s Best took Lucky to Sears Point (ok, so it’s called Infineon now but this is a GT-350) for his first shakedown. Fortunately for us, they’ve got some rough video of the car on track for the first time.

After the break, a short interview with Gary about the day. The quality of this snip may give some indication of whats coming soon from Team California’s Best.
