SHADOW The Magnificent Machines of a Man of Mystery: Can-Am - Formula 1 - F500by Pete LyonsEnigmatic American Don Nichols—D-Day paratrooper, Army counter-intelligence officer and controversial entrepreneur—went on to create a racing marque as unusual as the man himself. Shadow was the only US-based team to win a Can-Am championship, and one

of only three to score a victory in Formula 1. History lavishly celebrates his nominal rivals Dan Gurney and Roger Penske, while Nichols has long remained, yes, a shadowy figure—despite staying the difficult international course for 11 racing seasons, 1970 to 1980. Pete Lyons, who was there in the day, at last lifts the veil from this secretive man and the innovative, magnificent racing cars and world-class team he created.
