    Charles - is that DN? That's actually the best avenue...... Thank you!


    So - to hijack my own thread......
    I've got a little side business going now....
    This slot car we did with Jim Hall..... It has working fans of course....



    Next is probably the Shadow..... Maybe LeMonstre.....
    Too many cars - so little time.....

    oh - 1/32 scale!!

    According to this thread (and photograph), he was living and working in Salinas, California, and visited the Monterey Historics in August 2010: http://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44311

    I'm not sure what sort of info is being put out. I spent Thanksgiving 2015 with Don and Nick Slade at his shop in Salinas and bought all of the Shadow and Arrows F1 stuff he had. I know he was certainly alive last August during the Monterey Historics, although he was a bit too frail to come to the track.

    I would suggest those putting out this disinformation cease. I can not fathom a reason.

    Maybe a different DN - or I was thinking he went back to being a secret agent and faked his death in order to infiltrate the iranian nuclear program......

    What a life he's had so far... Somebody needs to sit him down and do an autobiography....

    "A Donald Nichols retired form the U.S. Air Force in 1962, due to failing health from numerous diseases he had been exposed to in Asia . A Don Nichols, one of the most unique warriors in modern American history, died in 1992 in the Veterans Affairs hospital in Tuscaloosa , Alabama . And to this day, a Don Nichols can still be found at vintage racing events in the U.S. , many of which feature examples of both Formula One and Can-Am Shadows, almost always clad in black, sleek and mysterious"


    If you ask me - it just ads to the intrigue....
    I'd cast Beau Bridges to play Don

    I worked for Shadow, 1973, and I apologize if I supplied the wrong info. One of my former team members had told me he had passed. I am sorry.
