Dow Jones Description

The headquarters of Rahal Letterman Racing is one of the finest race shop facilities of its type in the world of motorsports. Encompassing nearly 60,000 square feet of space in suburban Columbus, Ohio, it houses, in two adjacent buildings, all of the personnel and equipment necessary to develop, field and maintain Rahal Letterman's IRL IndyCar Series and American Le Mans Series programs and in the past has housed the team's Champ Car, Atlantic, Indy Lights and Formula BMW programs. The building provides space for 65 race team members and associates attending to Rahal's non-racing-related business enterprises. Each building features a lobby, which houses a retired car from the team's livery and many of the trophies and images commemorating past triumphs. Individual areas of the shop are specialized for the preparation and maintenance of the race cars: the main race shop, located in the new building, is where mechanical work on the IndyCar program is done; the composites area, where body panels are molded and created; the machine shop, where tools and parts are made; the fabrication area, where sheet metal parts are formed; the shock room, where suspension testing and production are completed; and a paint booth, where the cars are finished and decaled. Though purpose-built to house a state-of-the-art race shop, the original building was not always home to Rahal Letterman Racing. ...
