Notes on the cars:
- Osella PA9 [110] (Jacques Villeneuve Sr): Jacques Villeneuve Sr drove an Osella PA9-BMW sports car during the 1982 Can-Am season. This car had began life as a PA8, chassis 091, for Gimax in 1980 and had been converted to PA9 specification and renumbered 110 for Villeneuve's Can-Am run. The car reappeared briefly for Scott Goodyear to drive in 1983.
- March 822 [812-7] (Jim Trueman): Jim Trueman's 1982 Can-Am car is described in a variety of ways in that season's entry lists, ranging from a 822-Hart at Mid-Ohio to a Special at Caesars Palace. However, March records show that chassis 812-7 was invoiced to Trueman's Red Roof Inns on 28 May 1982 (invoice 5027). A list of March cars built in 1982 shows no sign of a 822 going to Trueman so his car must have been this 812.
- Tiga CA82 (Rex Ramsey): The little-known Tiga CA82 only appeared at one Can-Am race, at Riverside in 1982 where it was driven by Rex Ramsey. In keeping with previous Tiga Can-Am appearances, it retired. Ramsey still had the car in early 1983 but it is said to have competed in a few ASR races in the 1980s. In 2009, it was with a Carmichael, CA owner.
