October was an exciting month for the team. We refer to it as "The Great Western Adventure"! Our first stop was the world famous Jay's Garage in sunny Burbank, California, where we were privileged to be interviewed by Jay Leno (link to interview). Our special thanks to Grassroots Motor Sports Magazine for making the connection. You can also check us out at Our Garage.
The team also had the great honor of being invited to Midland, Texas, for a visit with the one and only Jim Hall! They spent an exciting afternoon in (Really IN!) the Petroleum Museum and historic Rattlesnake Raceway, where the original Chaparral race cars were tested. Jim Hall actually test drove the Cheaparral 2J-2 (with the sucker fan on) in front of a crowd of racing enthusiasts, some of whom have posted video on the video on the web. The smile on his face was worth the trip! Below are some pictures & video clips of those unforgettable moments.

Jim Hall really puts the Cheaparral to the test! My kind of "sign then drive"!
