Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't.

First of all I'm glad that Gary is racing with us. 
Some liveries that I like also.
There is so many cool liveries out there.

I'm racing the best here at BP but Father time is much better then all of us united.
Not a snob in this hobby, after all it will be gone, if we keep on going like we do, and I have nothing to prove so I keep on posting because I have nothing to gain.
It's our duty to remember the past so we can have a future.
Pistol Pete you will always be in my memory.

Wow Gary, thats AWESOME! I did not know that. I remember walking into the parts dept at the local toyo dealer with my dad and seeing the picture of the car on the wall with it coming down this little graded kink with the headlights on. Thought it was the coolest thing id ever seen. I was probably 8 at the time?Ditto, and in memoriam, Molly Sanders, who was the designer of these schemes on the AAR-Toyota GTU, GTO and GTP cars.

That would be it. There was writing under(it was a poster) I believe a TRD poster? Regardless, if I could get a high res of this to get it printed, that would be fantastic. I also believe there was a pic taken in the rain with the 98/99 following each other or vice versa, in a kink there as well. One in focus the other slightly out of focus?

(There was writing under(it was a poster) I believe a TRD poster?)
I recall that this picture was used as a poster. The poster that I remember was done by Airtech which was a company that we obtained composite tooling and the autoclave used to construct the tub and body work.
The shot of the 99 car was taken at the "cork screw" at Laguna Seca in 1991. It was the very first race for the successful Eagle Mk III. It was the only time it ran with the goofy rear vision pod on the roof. This race was very memorable to the team for several reasons including a radio transmission problem between Gurney and Fangio that, after a bizarre chain of events, led to a penalty and a 7th place finish in a race that we could have won.
The shot that you posted of the #98 and 99 Mk II Eagles together was taken, I believe, at Topeka in 1990, which the 99 car won, our first GTP victory.

I hope you make it out to Ohio sometime for a race. Would love to have conversations with you.

Jacob,
Let's not hijack this subject but in a new thread if you or others want to post a picture of a car raced by All American Racers between 1984 and 1997 I will try to tell a brief story of a memory that photo brings back. I can't promise immediate response but I will do my best. Dredging memories from years gone by can be a fun challenge for me; hopefully some might find it interesting.
