Features and Paddock Highlights

2016 is a special year for the WeatherTech® International Challenge with Brian Redmanpresented by HAWK as Road America is hosting the legendary Shadow racer and Corvairalong with celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian-American Challenge orCan-Am Series. Shadows were developed at a company founded by Don Nichols in 1971called Advanced Vehicle Systems. They were originally designed by Trevor Harris andentered under the Shadow Racing Inc. banner. The �rst Shadow, the Mk. 1, was enteredin the Can-Am series with George Follmer and Vic Elford behind the wheel. The Mk.1featured an innovative design, using very small wheels for low drag and although the carwas quick, it was not the most reliable car in the �eld. New designs piloted by JackieOliver and Brian Redman saw impressive results in the early 70’s before embarking intoFormula 1 and prior to the Can-Am Series being shortened in 1974. Since its retirementfrom competition some Shadows remain and continue the legacy at vintage events suchat the WeatherTech® International Challenge with Brian Redman presented by HAWK asa testament to their impressive design and performance from the glorious Can-Am era. Road America will also be hosting a Corvair reunion during the WeatherTech® International Challenge with Brian Redman presented by HAWK. Yenko Sportscars, operating in a smallshop out of the Yenko Chevrolet dealership in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, produced a handful of potent Stingers, Corvair-based sports cars built with the singular purpose of goingracing. The car was competitive straight out of the shop, and in 1967, drivers in Yenko Stingers claimed the SCCA D Production national title and 10 SCCA divisional titles.

Along with the UOP Shadow Can-Am Tribute, Road America celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian-American Challenge or Can-Am Series. This is perhaps the most fondlyremembered racing series ever, as it had minimal rules. Two seats, fendered bodywork, and that was about it. Unlimited engines, fat tires, unimaginable speed. The McLaren teamruled the early years. They won �ve years in a row at Road America, twice with Bruce McLaren and once each with Denny Hulme, Peter Gethin, and Peter Revson. In each instance therace was no contest, as the orange McLarens simply were the ones to beat. Their stranglehold on the Can-Am was broken in 1972 when Porsche practiced extreme excess in theirdesigns. Porsche built a twin turbocharged �ve-liter �at 12 engine that put out well over 1000 horsepower. They hired Roger Penske’s team to run the car, and as expected, they wonas they pleased. George Follmer took the win at Road America in 1972 and Mark Donohue in 1973, each winning the season championship. The Can-Am was last held in 1974, itsdemise essentially due to its success. That is, with virtually no rules, only one or two teams could reasonably win, so the rest went home. But while it lasted it was most memorable.The fans reacted accordingly with the biggest crowds ever at Road America until the top CART years of the mid 1990s which is exactly why Road America and fans alike enjoy thereturn of the Can-Am cars every year during the WeatherTech® International Challenge with Brian Redman presented by HAWK.
