RACE
FAN'S COMPETITION
Either
a Team Kool Green #26 or a #27 car, was on displayed at many of the race
meetings during the Champ Car season. By the race fan's participating in what I
understand was a very challenging competition, it was possible for them to win one of
our 1/10th. scale
models, right there at that track meeting.

Dario
and Paul were together through the
1998
to
2001
seasons,
with Team KOOL Green. 2001 saw the end of the sponsorship
from Brown & Williamson's Tobacco, due to the drastic changes in the
tobacco laws that governed "race team sponsorship".
These particular new laws had a devastating effect on our business,
as 80% of our support came from tobacco sponsorship. |
