Chaparral Race Cars

One wing of the Petroleum Museum in Midland, TX contains a wonderful collection of race cars that were designed and built in Midland for racing around the world. They were very successful and won many races.

Interesting what you find hiding in strange places. I never thought I would find race cars in a Petroluem museum!

This is a scaled down version that they intend for kids to sit in and have fun. (Neal's scaled up body barely made it in to the cockpit!)
