(meta data) TITLE: Can-Am 1984 « OldRacingCars.com (meta data) AUTHOR: Allen Brown Can-Am Formula B ## Can-Am 1984 Can-Am's death was widely predicted after the 1983 season, but it was rescued by "Dallas millionaire" Don Walker, who leased the series from SCCA President Nick Craw and ran it through his CanAm Association. Walker agreed a TV contract with ESPN and brought in CRC Chemicals as title sponsor. Walker's Dallas Motorsport ran the VDS cars for Michael Roe again and, with little serious competition, the Irishman took pole position at every race and won seven races. When Roe hit trouble, one-time GP driver Jim Crawford was able to win the three remaining races in his RK Racing March 847 and when Roe didn't hit trouble, Crawford always finished second. Both driver's moved on to CART where Crawford briefly led the Indy 500 in 1988. Roe's career sputtered and died. Behind these two, the rest of the Can-Am field was little more than SCCA club racing with the minor positions being filled by an assortment of converted F2 cars plus the antique Lola-Frissbee of Horst Kroll. ### The races 10 Jun 1984 > Mosport Park 07 Jul 1984 > Dallas (Fair Park) 22 Jul 1984 > Brainerd 04 Aug 1984 > Lime Rock 19 Aug 1984 > Road Atlanta 02 Sep 1984 > Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières 09 Sep 1984 > Mosport Park 30 Sep 1984 > Sears Point 07 Oct 1984 > Riverside 28 Oct 1984 > Green Valley Raceway ### 1984 CRC Chemicals Can-Am Championship table 1Michael RoeVDS 002 - Chevrolet V8VDS 004 - Chevrolet V8162 pts7 wins 2Jim CrawfordMarch 847 - Chevrolet V8156 pts3 wins 3Horst KrollFrissbee-Lola KR3 - Chevrolet V8119 pts 4Kim Campbell2-litre March 832 - BMW M12/788 pts 5Rod Cusumano2-litre Ralt RT2 - Hart 420RMarch 822 - BMW M12/755 pts 6Charles MonkFrissbee-Lola T333 - Chevrolet V854 pts 7Armando Trentini2-litre Osella PA9B/84 - BMW M12/752 pts 8Walter Lechner3-litre Williams FW07C - Cosworth DFV V8Lola T300 - Chevrolet V83-litre March 821 - Cosworth DFV V837 pts 9Ron Canizares2-litre March 812 - Hart 420R35 pts 10John GunnPhoenix 84 - Chevrolet V8Phoenix 85 - Chevrolet V830 pts Points table from Auto Racing/USA 1984 p252. ### Can-Am sections Programme search ### Can-Am seasons CAT 1987 Shelby Can-Am ### The research These race results were compiled in a joint project between Martin Krejcí and Allen Brown in the late 1990s using Formula, Racecar, On Track and the SCCA's Sports Car magazines as main sources. Car identities were worked out from Allen's ongoing F5000 research and Martin's ongoing sports car racing research and we are grateful to many former competitors and spectators for their help with this. An extensive search for program entry lists, both on eBay and from a range of contributors, has provided further information. A total of 22 programs are still sought.

Frissbee KR3
Racing history.
The Frissbee KR3 started out as a Lola T330, and featured a 5-litre Chevrolet V8 engine. It was first used by Horst Kroll's self-run Horst Kroll Racing team at the opening round of the 1984 Can-Am season, held at Mosport; he finished in fourth place. At Dallas, he finished eighth, and fifth of the full Can-Am entries, before finishing second at Brainerd, fifth at Lime Rock, second at Road Atlanta, and fourth at Trois-Rivières. The next round of the season was held again at Mosport; he went one better than the first race of the season, and took the KR3 to third place. He finished the season with eighth at Sears Point, fourth at Riverside, and eighth in the final round of the season, held at Green Valley.
