The three owners really enjoyed the series, but from a busniess stand point, it just didn't make sense.

It was fun, and I'm glad I did it, the cars are cool. Alot cooler that the last time I worked in sportscars in the early '90s. But I also understand not being able to see the return in a huge investment.

The car is in the corner of the shop and is for sale. Contact me with offers!
Thanks for the reply Weaver. Geez, I'd have thought Honda would have preferred to stay with a 'name' like Andretti vs. De Ferren although he is also a very good racer.
Maybe we'll see the car at the next Barrett-Jackson auction?

Let's hope for better times.
