Can anyone explain this? Or what does this mean? http://www.loopnet.com/xNet/MainSite/Listing/Profile/Profile.aspx?LID=16055781&LinkCode=10850&SourceCode=1lww2t006a00001&
I've driven past his place a couple times. Its a little closer to Columbus than Cleveland. I'm kinda surprised the whole facility is available. If I recall correctly, even though he shut down his IRL team a few weeks ago, he still needs a place to run his BMW M3 program that he's running in the AMLS this year, plus I think he's principally responsible for maintaining factory BMW racers both in the Formula BMW America series (the series that ran at the INDY F1 race every year) and be chiefly responsible for storage and service of factory owned historic BMW racers like the old M1's, 6-series....etc. I've seen pictures of that facility and it looks like a BMW museum in there.
Just for clarification, Rahal Letterman is in Hilliard, which is a suburb of Columbus. It's situated about 10 minutes from downtown Columbus, so it's nowhere close to Cleveland. The original building, which is still in use, was the home to Truesports, which Rahal started with in the early 80s as an Indycar and IMSA GTP team.
You are correct about the location as I will drive by there this PM. But True Sports was founded by Jim Trueman. Founder of Red Roof Inns and the 2nd owner of Mid-Ohio. Bobby raced for Jim and won the Indy 500 in 86. Jim died of cancer 2 weeks later. Bobby bought Truesports in 1992. The Trueman family still owns Mid-Ohio. What's up with this ad. I don't have a clue and have heard nothing. Casey, are you buying this property? US F1 team running out of Columbus. It all seems to fit.
Looks like the same place to me. Note sf., build date for 2nd bldg., and front entry design. http://www.rahal.com/corporate/ Cheers
