Jim Hall's Chaparral Race Cars at the Petroleum Museum

Do you like Race cars?
Jim Hall is the "Father of Aerodynamics" when it comes to race-cars.
Come along for the ride with me as we check out Jim Hall's Chaparrals at the Petroleum Museum in Midland, TX.
Keith Douset - the Petroleum Museum's resident Chaparral expert - takes us through all the cars.
Starting with the 1964 Corvette GS-II B.
You'll get to see it completely naked - with no body panels.
And you'll get to see THE torque-converter.
That's right - THE Torque Converter.
That's the Super-Secret-Skunk-Werks-Stuff baby!!
Keith takes us through all the cars up to the 1980 Indy 500 winning Chaparral 2K Indy Car.
I think it's a fascinating history of the Father of Aerodynamics and how the series that that was built on "no-rules" killed itself with rules...
After all the race-cars, we're allowed to stop by Chaparral headquarters & Rattlesnake Raceway.
