He began racing an Elva Courier sports\u00a0car in California during 1960 and he later entered a Genie-Oldsmobile in partnership with actor Dan Blocker \u2013 best known for his role in the long-running television western\u00a0Bonanza.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can-Am,\u00a0Indycars\u00a0and F5000 in North America\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increasingly prominent in North American sports\u00a0cars as the decade unfolded, Cannon acquired a McLaren M1B-Chevrolet which he raced in the new Can-Am series \u2013 finishing fourth at St\u00a0Jovite\u00a0in the very first such race held in 1966. Despite his car now being outdated, Cannon scored a surprise victory at a wet Laguna\u00a0Seca\u00a0in 1968, coming from 15th on the grid to lap the field thanks to the judicious choice of intermediate Firestone\u00a0tyres.<\/p>\n<p>An\u00a0Indycar\u00a0debut that year included finishing second at St\u00a0Jovite\u00a0with a Bryant\u00a0Vollstedt-Ford. Alongside such occasional outings and his Can-Am career, Cannon drove an Eagle in the SCCA\u2019s Formula\u00a0A\u00a0series from 1969, later known as F5000. Fourth overall in 1969, Cannon clinched the following year\u2019s title in Carl Hogan\u2019s McLaren M10B-Chevrolet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brief European foray and grand Prix debut\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cannon moved to Europe in 1971 and drove a private March 712M-Ford in the FIA Formula\u00a02 Championship. Fourth at\u00a0J\u00e1rama\u00a0was his best result and he made his GP debut at the end of the year \u2013 his works BRM P153 finishing 14th at Watkins Glen.<\/p>\n<p>But his future was not in the top echelons of the sport. Cannon continued racing in F5000 (including a couple of British outings during 1972), Can-Am and\u00a0Indycars\u00a0into the middle of the decade before deciding to retire.\u00a0He was killed in 1999 when the light aircraft he had built crashed into a New Mexico cornfield.<\/p>\n\n                            <div class=\"expanding-content__buttons\">\n                                            <a
