UOP Shadow Racers

Growing up in Wisconsin just 40 miles from Road America, my interest in sports car racing came early. The Can-Am races lit that interest further when they came to Road America in 1967. The open rules and unlimited power made these sports racers the fastest road racers on the planet.

In 2018, after restoring and racing both an F5000 Shadow and the 1974 Can-Am championship DN4, I was made aware that quite a number of Shadows, most in disassembled or damaged condition, were soon to be available from two different collectors. In the span of four days I was suddenly the owner of 10 Shadows. These included virtually every model of Shadow Can-Am racer produced and two of the three F5000 cars ever built.
