Team Rahal
1992  PPG Indy Car Champions

A 1/10th. scale Limited Edition build of 
1 model, owned by: Mr. Bobby Rahal

1995 we received our first order from Rahal/Hogan Racing. We had tried to get together with Mr. Rahal a few years earlier but  without success.   We built 10 Limited Edition 1/10th. scale models of their #9 Miller Genuine Draft Car, for presentation in 1995.   One of these models was presented by Bobby Rahal, to his then "New Partner" David Letterman.  I believe the model was shown on the "Tonight Show".  Presentation plaque read "welcome partner"

1996 Bobby Rahal fielded a two car team.      He drove the  #18 Miller car, and the #28 Shell car was driven by Brian Herta.            Models of the Brian's Shell #28 car in 1/10th scale were commissioned.

1996 - Miller 25 Years in Racing - 1/5th scale
This car had a very impressive paint scheme, to commemorate the Miller Brewing Company's 25 Years in Racing.    I understood it was on display in Mr. Rahal's car dealership showroom in Ohio.

1997 saw the new "Lite" colour scheme for the first time, and I personally felt it was one of the most impressive looking cars that year.    Bobby drove this Miller Lite Reynard #7, and Brian Herta continued for another year, in the Shell #8.    1/10th. scale models were built of both of these cars.

2000  was the last models to be  commissioned by Team Rahal.   A series of Kenny Brack Shell #8 Reynard / Ford Cosworth Champ cars were built that year.    These models were produced in the "short oval set-up" , instead of the usually favored "road course" version.
