What truly sucks about this news is that its probably the shape of things to come, not trying to be the Grim Reaper but things will probably get worse in the racing world before they get better. I see a few NASCAR teams are getting ready to fold due to lack of funding, so if its happening at that level I can only imagine the struggles in a less popular series.......... yes it sucks mightily!

Too bad to see them leave the series.   cry  Always nice looking cars!  One wonders at the expense in 2007 of buying brand new 997s and run only a year and then buy brand new 430s the next year.   Huh  That had to cost a mint!  We'll see if he shows up at this year's Kentucky Derby or has his horse business tanked too.   Cheers &  Beer

Apparently those 430s were never paid for.

I believe the horse business is his father's.
