The back is off Revson’s Lola and the car is finished for the day.
Early in the race Revson is pushed hard by Joe Sifferts Porsche
Bobby Rinzler stand high above the other pit onlookers
Gurney and Siffert about to lap a backmarker. Spectators had a good view walking on the outside of the banking.
You can barely see Jo Siffert’s nose he sits so low in the Porsche 917PA. It would not be long before the monster 917’s would dominate the CanAm.
Gurney in the McLaren sits a bit higher.
Clif Appel starts a big spin on the oval. Andrea deAdamich’s McLaren is just behind.
Clif stand by while his stranded McLaren gets what appears to be a small fire put out.
The cars are finishing the pace lap and headed onto the banking. Bruce leads Denny in the team McLaren cars with Revson #31 and Siffert just behind.
Black Jack Brabham brings the Ford G7 onto the banking. The Ford was totally unreliable, mostly engine problems. But here at Michigan poor Jack lost a wheel.
