The Shadow is one fast little puppy.

Might have been a bit more fun after the tires got some heat in them.


BTW does anyone know where this event was run in Fresno. Nice big surface there.

That car is completely out of its element on an AX course, but it interesting nevertheless. I remember that car at Riverside Int'l Raceway (maybe '70 or '71). In those days you could walk the pits and talk to the drivers in an almost a club race like atmousphere. I saw all the big name drivers; I particularly remember George Follmer standing next to his 917 with one foot on the left front fender; I took a photo and wished him well.

That car was up at Infineon a few years ago and they were giving rides for charity for $100.00. At that same event I went for a ride in a Lola Can Am car. Did 4 laps at Infineon. The acceleration was unbelievable, the cornering not as impressive, but I fugured the driver didn't want to wad up his car during a charity event even though I told him to go as fast as he wanted.

I almost selected the Shadow for my ride, but went for the Lola.
