I did attend the '67 Canadian GP at Mosport, the rest (17) at Montreal.

Here's Dan Gurney in the Brabham overtaking mouse clicker Lorenzo Bandini in the Ferrari...1965 the last year of the 1.5L formula.
it was very difficult to be there for Sunday morning warmup - as Michael Andretti came past us on a semi-long straight between turns 3-4 there were vapor trails coming off the edges of the rear wing
