The man could drive anything, and do it so well. RIP Jim

Great clutchless upshifts - even better clutchless downshifts! Just brilliant.

Awsome! The T-70 coupe has always been one of my absolute favorit cars. So beautiful, powerful, and the sound it makes! A true icon!

I had a Lola t70 !!! One of my coolest slot cars ever !!!😄😄😄😄😄

Lucky you, I had a T160 that was cool but never a T70 of any sort. Almost as good looking as a 330P4.

Those Lotus 23B's are quick! Only weigh 450kgs!

My Dad took us here, early 70's for Can Ams, thanks Dad.

That little 4 cylinder lotus 23 did pretty dam good against the Lola v8

Awesome! Love the historic racing at Road America, I never miss an event! Thank you, sir, for keeping these wonderful machines alive and on track!

Loads of fun. Nicely done. Great car, of course. And those little Lotuses really move, too! It's interesting. The Lotuses are much earlier designs with much less horsepower.

"Steady, steady,...Sit here for awhile... he's using the mirrors... I think I'll pass him now" - Yes sir.

Thanks for posting. This car looks intense! Quicker than everything on the straights it looked like. I will be on the track next weekend so am watching to learn the track.

Your videos are genuinely exciting to watch. I feel like I'm in there with you feeling the G force and acceleration. Great stuff!

ditto on Jim's talent!! Wonderful to watch him race!!

Nice smooth drive. Always in full control of the car.

There ain't nothin' that sounds better than a small block Chevy singin' at 6500 rpm.

@Dennis Young 8000 is close. The Vintage race Ford 302s in late 60s Mustangs redline at 8400 RPMS/ 540 H.P. according to one GT350 owner I talked to at Road America. This vintage racers have considerably more power today than they did in the 1960s, but are still stuck with 60s brakes and tires per the rule book. Note the sound in this video. I recommend hearing protection. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l2mexc2qnaquY5M.html

Junior Johnson was winding the Yunick tuned 302s to 7500rpm all day. Dual quads on a crossram 302! The hp had to have been close to 600.

fantastic!

Fantastic video.

Fantastic Jim, love your narration and driving style.

A joy to drive this classic T70. The grand history of Road America makes the experience all the sweeter! Thanks for watching. JP

Nice smooth pro driving in that old girl! Gorgeous car!

Cool video. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed that, thanks.

Thanks for the narration; it`s one thing to get coaching, but quite another to be in the mind of a Pro and hear how each marker is sized up. As cool weather is back in Florida, if you guys get back down to Sebring I would be curious to hear how you sort through that track with traffic. Great upload!..sound is awesome

Well done!

That engine note sounds sexy. Nice drivin' and 'splainin', too.

Beautiful driving sir. I could watch with that foot cam all day. Would really love to see a POV view of the wheel from your helmet or chest but this is honestly driving nirvana for me

Thanks for watching. Camera placement is challenging in the T70 Coupe as the rear bulkhead is so close to the seat back. My personal choice is to see what the driver is doing in the car...hands, feet, shifting...but the opportunity to driver this car came about last minute and choices were limited. The foot car is always interesting. Great vintage Lola T70!

Yep! That's how you drive and film a good race!!

Nice job mate.😆👍

JP, the master!

The Lolas were badass! Eric Broadley did some good work.

good driving men

I've seen your great vids on some of the other Can-Am cars. OK, open cockpit, closed cockpit. - which do you prefer?

Thanks for watching. All these cars are a joy to drive for various reasons but my personal preference is the feeling of an OPEN car. I love the Porsche 962 and the Lola T70 coupes but an open car has an added sense of exhilaration.

The gearbox has dog engagement - like motorcycle gearboxes. You don't need to use the clutch, just quickly lift off the throttle whilst changing up the gears. Same changing down the gears, but you have to be quick to time everything, gearshift, brake, blip throttle.

Jim Pace!!!! He's that good nobody has ever heard of him.

Small block Chevy there really is nothing it can’t do.
