A FAMOUS RACING TEAM CLOSES

Ya know one of the things a person learns is, life goes on, and changes are part of that. Three years ago I drove down to a racing team called Newman-Haas (http://www.newman-haas.com/ ( yes the world famous Paul Newman) and bought my TIG welder from them.  I dealt with the general manager at the time a gentleman named John. Long story short this is the end of one of the most successful Champ Car teams ever. They have a storied history of famous people Mario Andretti, son Micheal, World champion Nigel Mansel etc the list goes on. To older people this is a sad time, to the younger and hungry this is an opportunity to fill a large void. The respect is there for them, they earned it, life goes on. The only thing I can imagine is some how I was part of that history in a very small way.
