We had the pleasure of co-sponsoring the car and worked with Jim and his son Bob and Sammy Hale, the last driver of the Champion nostalgia car. In one of the last frames of this clip, you can see Hale wearing one of the ³team² shirts, red with a big black and white Juxtapoz ³spade² logo, designed by Craig Stecyk, on the back. Hanging in our office, we have the identical logo from the blower cover, on a framed, carbon fiber plaque they gave us that has the 5.87 et signed by Hale, and it also includes the blown piston and spun rod bearing from the run. Great memories of some wonderful guys. Thanks for sharing. ER
