Spoke to Vic at the event regarding driving this monster and said the only reason he drove it was it was a paying drive and back then you would take anything that paid. He saw it at the Historics in the paddock and couldn't believe it still existed and that he ever drove it.

For some reason I thought the Shadows were designed and built by Peter Bryant. Anyone know his relationship to this story?
 Are you kidding me?

I don't know who said that the Shadow MkI AVS is ugly, but whoever said this needs to look at their own car. This machine is odd-lookin' but consider that it was made in the 70's. This car is nice looking and yes, those are spoilers.
 O...I don't think so.

Your feature on the first Can-Am Shadow brought back memories. I helped Don Nichols put the UOP deal together. But that came after 1970. In that year, George Follmer drove the car. I really got through the air, but it could not stop nor could its design provide enough cooling. By the way, Ollie had nothing to do with the Shadow name. His O is the O in ARROWS, the F1 team he and others founded.
