Team Rahal
1992  PPG Indy Car Champions

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

1995   we got our first commission from Rahal/Hogan Racing, although we had tried to get together with Bobby Rahal a few years earlier, without success.   We built 10 Limited Edition 1/10th. scale models of Bobby's #9 Miller Genuine Draft Car, for presentation to sponsors.   One of these models was presented by Bobby Rahal, to his then, "New Partner" David Letterman, and I beleive, the model was shown on the "Tonight Show".
1996 the new Team Rahal was formed, and Bobby Rahal fielded a 2 car team.      He drove the  #18 Miller car, and the #28 Shell car was driven by Brian Herta. We were asked to build models of the Shell #28 car in 1/10th scale, and also a 1/5th. scale model of the Miller Genuine Draft #18.
 
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.
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 next models to be  commissioned by Team Rahal.   A series of Kenny Brack Shell #8 Reynard / Ford Cosworth Champ cars  were built this year.    These models were done in the "short oval set-up" instead of the usual "road course"
