    Vintage with Blue fabric on a blue car - although it has also been seen with red, so I'm not yet sure how often it gets swapped out or cleaned.

    In this overhead photo, I *think* I know the gentleman in the red hat with his left hand on the rear wing of your car.... If it's who I think it is, he worked with us in '96/'97. Interesting....

    Got in contact with Bruce Miller the photographer in Houston and purchased a number of very nice images of our challenge car in various guises...

    Our garage will soon have some great prints up on the walls. :). It's really special to track down the full history of these cars and see that moment in time from long ago...

    Not a bad angle. ANTEC one our team sponsors purchased a small company or two from NORTEL and changed their name in 2001 to today's - ARRIS Interactive.

    Great history on the car and the team sponsors.

    I can't get enough of these. I love the red fabric. I'm sure all challenge owners get excited seeing their car in its past livery.

    More great images - this one from early in the 1999 season with Ferrari of Atlanta.

    I loved finding this photo that Bruce Miller made of Tim Robertson going neck and neck with Dr. Stephen Earle in # 07...

    This one is definitely going up on the garage wall.

    Notice the "full deck" of sponsors now (they varied throughout the seasons.) This shot was also helpful in me understanding the logos on top of the car which I had not seen up to now... :) And I like the full size logo for ANTEC on the hood.
