	CanAm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Group 7 had arisen as a category for non-homologated sports car 'specials' in Europe and for a while in the 1960s Group 7 racing was popular in the United Kingdom as well as a class in hillclimb racing in Europe.
		Some Group 7 cars were also built in Japan by Nissan and Toyota, but these did not compete outside their homeland (though some of the Can-Am competitors went over to race against them occasionally).
		Jim Hall's 2 series Chaparrals were leaders in the application of aerodynamics to racecars culminating with the introduction of the 2E in 1966, the first of the high wing race cars.

		The car only ran for one glorious season (1970) and like all new cars it had it's share of teething pains. Unfortunately it never had a chance to grow up as the sanctioning body, with more than a bit of prodding from the Chaparral's competitors, decided to outlaw the technology after the season had ended.
		While the car had just one incomplete season of racing, it was fortunate to have had two outstanding drivers to race it.

		Hall was one of the first to put "air-dams" under a car's chin to keep the front of the car on the ground.

		Late in the race, his Chaparral collided with a backmarker, was launched into the air, and landed upside down.

		Along with the secrecy concerning Chaparral Cars' relationship with GM and use of a semiautomatic transmission, Green said the composite chassis remained a mystery for about two years.
		On the other hand, a driver can climb aboard a 40-year-old Chaparral, push it hard on the track and the chassis would perform as well as it did the day it was built.

	CARkeys - Chaparral Reborn
		Well, Chaparral was an extraordinarily innovative US race car manufacturer which built a series of amazing sports cars in the 1960s, most famously in the Can-Am series for two-seater monsters with colossal American V8 engines.
		One of the more famous Chaparral models is the 2E, of which only one example now exists in the Petroleum Musem in Texas (www.petroleummuseum.org).
		However, Chaparral Cars LLC has announced that it will be using the original body moulds, plans and engineering drawings to build a limited-edition "continuation of series" run of 2Es.

		The issue with the Corvair was that you would lose control of the car because it had oversteer at the limit whereas other domestic cars had understeer at the limit of control.
		The rest of the car, the aerodynamics, the body design, the wiring, the plumbing and the race preparations were all done by Jim.
		While there was a car on display at Laguna Seca, it was nowhere near ready to go on the track and be driven head to head against the rest of the vintage racers.
